First time unemployment claims for the week ending June 2 will be close to 380,000. Tthey are initially reported at 377,000, today.

With regard to these numbers,   I have complained about the fact that corrections have been made week after week for well over a year,   now.  The major media (including Fox) is just now getting around to taking note of this fact.  Hey,  I was a year ahead of the curve against Rush's program.  Last week's initial report of 383,000 first time benefit claims was off by 6,000 !!  That's right. 389,000 folks submitted for unemployment benefits,  last week (ending May 26).  This week,  the current lie is that 377,000 made application.  No doubt,  next week we will be told that this total was actually 380,000 or higher.  



June 2 -  377,000 - 
May 26 - 383, 000 revised up by 6,000 to 389,000  revised up 65 out of last 66 weeks.

April 21 _  first report for week ending on the 21st,  is 388,00 - the same initial report as last week's.  An adjustment [upward ?] will occur with next Thursdays report.  This was adjust up to 392,000.  
April 14 - first report is 388,000 to be adjusted next Thursday.  Adjust  number is 389,000
