New Jobless claims fall to pandemic low of 290,000 this week
225,000 is normal, getting there, the job market is recovering. Continuing claims also fell to a pandemic era low of 2.548 million.
There are jobs to be had, workers are being selective right now because they can.
The economic recovery of 2021 is just remarkable and gets almost no press, experts had expected the economy to take several years to recover from the 2020 collapse, we're on pace to be back to pre pandemic levels in 2022. Biden and his surrogates should be out there bragging daily.
A reminder, Trump was a total and complete economic disaster for the country, he had the worst jobs record since Herbert Hoover and left the economy with the worst year for growth since 1947.
