New jobless claims come in lower than expected

326,000 vs 348,000 expected.

Multiple threads last week when they came in worse than expected. The economy is actually strong right now, near 7% growth this year is outstanding. jobs growth is record breaking under Biden. Stock Market still up 12% under Biden. Dems need to tout Biden's economic record right now, it's record breaking and outstanding.

experience at 18.50 with certain overtime. My husband has been promoted before even officially in the company (90 days) and is in charge of hiring in his area...he has been ghosted quite a bit. People have choices now and since Ohio jobs didn't even pay the national minimum wage in the past, this is huge and wonderful. If you can relocate, take a look. All sorts of jobs here...we couldn't move but hubs former company went to another area so he lost that job but had one within a week. He wasn't asked, to move but it would have been very difficult in any case.
