I know this is totaly off subject for me but I have to talk about this. Yesterday one of the top stories on AP news was on the rise of people applying for unemployment clams, today the top story is the decline of clams. Which is true? Are is it all BS and you can't beleve any of it?
"The Labor Department said Thursday that 409,000 people made claims for benefits for the first time, up 18,000 from the previous week. However, the ADP said Wednesday that companies likely added nearly 300,000 jobs last month, far more than the 100,000 economists predicted."
"Economists are predicting that employers added a net total of 145,000 jobs last month and that the unemployment rate dipped to 9.7 percent.
Some are even more optimistic after a private payroll firm estimated this week that companies added nearly 300,000 jobs in December. Also encouraging was a report that fewer people applied for unemployment benefits over the past month than in any four-week period in more than two years."
