Sigh. Economy thingies are hard! So are numbers, evidently.
The mockery was swift and hilarious.
Definitely not biased… “@AP: U.S. unemployment aid applications up only 5,000 to 333,000 – a level that signals steady job gains"

@AP Applications are up and that means steady job gains? I'm confused…

If steady = snail running a marathon. MT @AP: U.S. unemployment aid applications up only 5K to 333K – a level that signals steady job gains.

@AP no it doesnt indicate job gains!! It mean fewer jobs lost. A job not lost is not a job gained
