(53,342 posts)1. What was the previous record? Was it even 1 million??
Initial jobless claims in the week ended March 21 were up from 282,000 in the prior week and more than quadruple the previous record high of 695,000 in 1982, according to Labor Department figures released Thursday. The figures date back to 1967.
Hey. Guess who was President in 1982?
