Jobless claims: Weekly claims rise to 202,000

[progree]

20. Well, she included the historic information in her headline last week when it occurred:

Jobless claims: Another 187,000 Americans filed new claims last week, the least since 1969

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142893166

and apparently changed it yet again sometime later, to

"New jobless claims fall to 187,000, setting more than five-decade low"

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/weekly-jobless-claims-week-ended-march-19-2022-183206198.html


That said, yes, her typical headline is

"Jobless claims: Another 214,000 Americans filed new claims last week"

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142889761

and like you and everyone else, I don't see the point including the "another". She doesn't do that in other articles like the ADP report yesterday:

"Private payrolls rose by 455,000 in March, topping expectations: ADP"

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142896272

Why doesn't she write:
"Private payrolls rose by another 455,000 in March, topping expectations: ADP"

Why does she use "another" only when describing unemployment claims?

OTOH, I don't think every headline about jobs has to be how we're near an all-time high in jobs, or near multi-decade lows in unemployment rate or insurance claims,

any more than every headline about the stock market has to be how the indexes are near an all-time high.
