 U.S. Jobless Claims DropPosted on Dec 31, 2009
The Labor Department announced Thursday that fewer Americans than anticipated have filed unemployment benefit claims this month, potentially pointing to a less substantial unemployment population and maybe, just maybe, better economic growth in 2010. —JCL

Even if their numbers weren’t cooked (which they are, Tarpley, Chapman, and many others put real unemployment at 21+ percent), I hope you good readers are all still seeing past the disinfo:
THE NUMBER OF UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS IS RISING
THE RATE OF THE RISE IS LESS THAN EXPECTED
OK, was that clear? (Sorry for shouting!) So, since this is what even this article is actually saying, why would the title be:
“U.S. Jobless Claims Drop”
Hmmmmmmmm. Inquiring minds already know. They think you’re a total idiot. You’re not, are you? You immediately perceived this slight of word, right?

Like the cobbled reason for invading Iraq our facts and figures for unemployment and inflation have been so compromised by cherry picking that they have become meaningless. I agree with the comment that the abiliity of unemployed to contact and get their unemployment makes it very difficult to do.
There is nothing like having only enough money for one phone call to state employment and getting an auto answer and then disconnect leaving you not enough money for a second call and no answer.
It is clear that in regards to the basics of life the inflation rate is very much higher than the official claim, so not hard to believe that the unemployment figures are suspect too. It is all about controlling PR, but the jobless will only increase.

hello. the numbers are crooked, and the collapse coming after the holiday season will be unprecedented. make no mistake about this, we are grinding to an economic halt. the next round of foreclosures is around the corner, and everything being used to destroy Main Street is working. we have a cog in the gears. there is something blocking the teleprompter.

“...Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is among companies that slashed employment in 2009. The Omaha, Nebraska-based company last week said it cut 21,000 workers from its payroll amid a slump at the firm’s manufacturing and retail units. The company and its subsidiaries now have about 225,000 workers, it said in regulatory filings.”
It would be interesting to know how many military-relatled jobs were cut in Omaha (the bit SAC base military/industrial complex/surveillance center) in 2009. My guess would be none, but I wish I were wrong.

Funny, because I have been trying for the past 2 months to find out why my claim
Report thisfor unemployment extension hasn’t gone through. Only problem is, no one from
EDD will return my emails or phone calls. And forget being able to call EDD for
help, you’ll most likely get an automated message saying that they are inundated
with calls and to call back later. For some reason, I doubt I’m the only one in this
boat. Guessing their inefficiencies are affecting others and hence the jobless
claims are going down. The truth isn’t always in the numbers.
