Jobless Claims
Over 400k For Second Week
by Bright Knight
Don't think even for a minute that this will be getting better soon.
People will learn that elections have consequences. Unfortunately it
doesn't hit just the Obama-voters but everyone is hurt.
John Nolte writes at Breitbart:
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistic, for the second week in a
row, over 400,000 new jobless claims were filed across the country.
Last week the number was 451k, this week it's 410k, and as we saw last
week, most of the blame is falling on Hurricane Sandy.
Last week the Hurricane Sandy excuse made little sense as most of the
new jobless claims came from Ohio and Pennsylvania due to layoffs in
the manufacturing, construction, and auto industries. Had these layoffs
been due to the hurricane, why weren't there more layoffs in those same
states and industries this week? Furthermore, these states weren't hit
anywhere near as hard as the two states that saw the biggest increase
in jobless claims this week: New Jersey and New York.
Coming in third was California, which saw an increase of nearly 25k new
claims due to layoffs in the service industry due to Hurricane Jerry
"Moonbeam" Brown.
Overall, forty states saw an increase in claims.
