The Nation's Financial Condition

[Peter Brown]

What's your address so we can send them over to light your house on fire...who you gonna call to stop or you going to give them the gas can?

Lighting my house on fire doesn't help their agenda, so they're not going to do it.

And I would call the local police and fire depts if they did, not Trump's secret police goons.

Do you guys really not understand the strategy? Do you not understand that it's working? Have you looked at polling on race relations and how it's shifted over the past few months, to Trump's detriment?

Trump approval rating over the last year:

‘Will call his local PD’.

Same PD his party wants to defund. Hope they don’t come. Fend for yourself.

Uhhh when I see an Antifa group toss molotov cocktails at federal buildings, they might have a solid reason for doing so?

They do have a solid reason. Do you know what it is?

I'll tell you: it's to provoke an over-the-top response from the gubmint, one that will turn more people against the gubmint.

So far it's working really well. Just look at the YUGE opinion shift to the left on BLM. Yesterday the white manager of the LA Dodgers knelt during the national anthem.

Remember Trump's tear-gas cleared march to the church? How'd that work out as an opinion mover?

Trump and his goons (and you) are falling into the trap antifa is setting for him.

Yep. That's the Portland Mayor's & OR Governor's strategy. Just let the Federal buildings burn. Your enthusiasm for it is noted.

It does if we flood social media that you are a racist, bigot, homophobic, and all things negative towards their cause. We could even throw in some memes and misquoted posts from fan lax just to incite a bit more flare. Fire fighters do not arrive if their safety is in jeopardy, and police do not show up when their leaders tell them to stand down...you are up S-creek without a paddle fella.

Based on your chart, you then agree it is the democratic party causing all this unrest and damage....finally, you admit your party has gone off the rails.

God bless America, land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with the light from above
From the mountains to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam
God bless America, my home sweet home

Note: Advance claims are not directly comparable to claims reported in prior weeks. Advance claims are reported by the state liable for paying the unemployment compensation, whereas previous weeks reported claims reflect claimants by state of residence. In addition, claims reported as "workshare equivalent" in the previous week are added to the advance claims as a proxy for the current week's "workshare equivalent" activity.

TECHNICAL NOTES
This news release presents the weekly unemployment insurance (UI) claims reported by each state's unemployment insurance program offices. These claims may be used for monitoring workload volume, assessing state program operations and for assessing labor market conditions. States initially report claims directly taken by the state liable for the benefit payments, regardless of where the claimant who filed the claim resided. These are the basis for the advance initial claims and continued claims reported each week. These data come from ETA 538, Advance Weekly Initial and Continued Claims Report. The following week initial claims and continued claims are revised based on a second reporting by states that reflect the claimants by state of residence. These data come from the ETA 539, Weekly Claims and Extended Benefits Trigger Data Report.
A. Initial Claims
An initial claim is a claim filed by an unemployed individual after a separation from an employer. The claimant requests a determination of basic eligibility for the UI program. When an initial claim is filed with a state, certain programmatic activities take place and these result in activity counts including the count of initial claims. The count of U.S. initial claims for unemployment insurance is a leading economic indicator because it is an indication of emerging labor market conditions in the country. However, these are weekly administrative data which are difficult to seasonally adjust, making the series subject to some volatility.
B. Continued Weeks Claimed
A person who has already filed an initial claim and who has experienced a week of unemployment then files a continued claim to claim benefits for that week of unemployment. Continued claims are also referred to as insured unemployment. The count of U.S. continued weeks claimed is also a good indicator of labor market conditions. Continued claims reflect the current number of insured unemployed workers filing for UI benefits in the nation. While continued claims are not a leading indicator (they roughly coincide with economic cycles at their peaks and lag at cycle troughs), they provide confirming evidence of the direction of the U.S. economy.
C. Seasonal Adjustments and Annual Revisions
Over the course of a year, the weekly changes in the levels of initial claims and continued claims undergo regularly occurring fluctuations. These fluctuations may result from seasonal changes in weather, major holidays, the opening and closing of schools, or other similar events. Because these seasonal events follow a more or less regular pattern each year, their influence on the level of a series can be tempered by adjusting for regular seasonal variation. These adjustments make trend and cycle developments easier to spot. At the beginning of each calendar year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics provides the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) with a set of seasonal factors to apply to the unadjusted data during that year. Concurrent with the implementation and release of the new seasonal factors, ETA incorporates revisions to the UI claims historical series caused by updates to the unadjusted data.

JHC....did you have to paste the entire online PDF

One of the more obnoxious things to do on any site, and it goes without saying who does it. So annoying.

[Farfromgeneva]

Don’t read or be a little baby and whine, which of course would be consistent. The link is at the top so one who has any comprehension could’ve avoided it.

Childish crying by children written be Peter Brown. Don’t you have some class of people to denigrate?

[Farfromgeneva]

Hey everyone, be clear that Peter was born with a silver spoon and given everything, please do not make him tax himself in any way and provide him exactly what he wants, when he wants it or you are not a good person in his book and he will make some slur up about you.

[CU88]

What's your address so we can send them over to light your house on fire...who you gonna call to stop or you going to give them the gas can?

Lighting my house on fire doesn't help their agenda, so they're not going to do it.

And I would call the local police and fire depts if they did, not Trump's secret police goons.

Do you guys really not understand the strategy? Do you not understand that it's working? Have you looked at polling on race relations and how it's shifted over the past few months, to Trump's detriment?

Trump approval rating over the last year:

Note: Advance claims are not directly comparable to claims reported in prior weeks. Advance claims are reported by the state liable for paying the unemployment compensation, whereas previous weeks reported claims reflect claimants by state of residence. In addition, claims reported as "workshare equivalent" in the previous week are added to the advance claims as a proxy for the current week's "workshare equivalent" activity.

TECHNICAL NOTES
This news release presents the weekly unemployment insurance (UI) claims reported by each state's unemployment insurance program offices. These claims may be used for monitoring workload volume, assessing state program operations and for assessing labor market conditions. States initially report claims directly taken by the state liable for the benefit payments, regardless of where the claimant who filed the claim resided. These are the basis for the advance initial claims and continued claims reported each week. These data come from ETA 538, Advance Weekly Initial and Continued Claims Report. The following week initial claims and continued claims are revised based on a second reporting by states that reflect the claimants by state of residence. These data come from the ETA 539, Weekly Claims and Extended Benefits Trigger Data Report.
A. Initial Claims
An initial claim is a claim filed by an unemployed individual after a separation from an employer. The claimant requests a determination of basic eligibility for the UI program. When an initial claim is filed with a state, certain programmatic activities take place and these result in activity counts including the count of initial claims. The count of U.S. initial claims for unemployment insurance is a leading economic indicator because it is an indication of emerging labor market conditions in the country. However, these are weekly administrative data which are difficult to seasonally adjust, making the series subject to some volatility.
B. Continued Weeks Claimed
A person who has already filed an initial claim and who has experienced a week of unemployment then files a continued claim to claim benefits for that week of unemployment. Continued claims are also referred to as insured unemployment. The count of U.S. continued weeks claimed is also a good indicator of labor market conditions. Continued claims reflect the current number of insured unemployed workers filing for UI benefits in the nation. While continued claims are not a leading indicator (they roughly coincide with economic cycles at their peaks and lag at cycle troughs), they provide confirming evidence of the direction of the U.S. economy.
C. Seasonal Adjustments and Annual Revisions
Over the course of a year, the weekly changes in the levels of initial claims and continued claims undergo regularly occurring fluctuations. These fluctuations may result from seasonal changes in weather, major holidays, the opening and closing of schools, or other similar events. Because these seasonal events follow a more or less regular pattern each year, their influence on the level of a series can be tempered by adjusting for regular seasonal variation. These adjustments make trend and cycle developments easier to spot. At the beginning of each calendar year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics provides the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) with a set of seasonal factors to apply to the unadjusted data during that year. Concurrent with the implementation and release of the new seasonal factors, ETA incorporates revisions to the UI claims historical series caused by updates to the unadjusted data.

Thanks for posting.

New unemployment insurance claims rise for the first time since March
Some 1.4 million workers filed for unemployment last week, the first increase in months, as the pandemic continues to weigh on the labor market.

[Farfromgeneva]

That was the point and the headline, were heading back “down” trajectory wise and in the initial paragraph.

What's your address so we can send them over to light your house on fire...who you gonna call to stop or you going to give them the gas can?

Lighting my house on fire doesn't help their agenda, so they're not going to do it.

And I would call the local police and fire depts if they did, not Trump's secret police goons.

Do you guys really not understand the strategy? Do you not understand that it's working? Have you looked at polling on race relations and how it's shifted over the past few months, to Trump's detriment?

Trump approval rating over the last year:

I think the best comparison is against GHW Bush and Carter, and at this time o d has the highest disapproval rating of any POTUS; against the same number of days occupant of w h.

o d at 55.6%

HW at 54.2%

Carter at 54.9%

BFD. We already know Trump supporters keep quite for fear of being spat on, ostracized, gas lit, and all things bad by the left.

I have ZERO doubt that she thinks that.

They're ALL like this. It's like talking to toddlers, who don't want to hear that mommy won't give them an ice cream cone.

They are incapable of understanding that the free market left the building in America decades ago. These large companies don't function without mommy (the .gov) anymore.

Meanwhile, no one is paying for my R&D at my family biz.
