I'd be curious as to what the U6 data is. Also not sure I can trust that data under the demons running this administration.

Remember that the number represents new claims only. So for one week there were not so many layoffs/firings - doesn't mean people found jobs.

Are you talking about the U-3 numbers or the U-6 numbers?

yeah its kinda moot now. Given how many folks lost their job due to having the wrong numbers.
