Jobless claims fall again to reach new 49-year low of 201,000

 The numbers: The number of Americans who applied for unemployment benefits in mid-September fell to a fresh 49-year low, more proof that a growing labor shortage and surging economy have given workers greater job security.

Initial jobless claims, a rough proxy for layoffs, fell by 3,000 to 201,000 in the seven days ended Sept. 15. That’s below the 208,000 MarketWatch forecast and marks the lowest level since Nov. 12, 1969.

Ergo,  the food stamp and welfare rolls should also be shedding dead weight...  Right....  :whistle:

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Both more workers and less welfare output is increasing this country's GDP.

The right direction to take.
