Unemployment Numbers - more bad news for Obama.

The new weekly total for folks having just lost their job and are applying for first time unemployment benefits rose by 1,000 over the initial report for the previous week.  Understand that in a four week month,  with these numbers,  more than 1.4 million American's lose their jobs each month  compared to the number Obama loves to brag about,  160,000 new jobs created each month or "4.3 million jobs created in 27 months."   The facts, obviously, tell us that the jobs market is not growing.  I have maintained from the very beginning that there is no such thing as a "jobless recovery."  After four years of recession,  my point has been verified in spades.  

June 16 - 387,000
June 9 - 386,000 new claims/ Revised up to 389,000 with the June 16 report.

March 17 - 348,000 as a first report.  This will be adjusted up to 350,000 to 352,000 by next Thursday (3/29).  With the March 24 First Report,  we find out that the week ending 3/17 missed the the truth completely/  Instead of 348,000,  the final report was 364,000 or 16,000 off the mark.  
March 10 - 351,000 as a first report.  We expect this number to be revised to 354,000. It was adjusted to 353,000, 000
