So let me get this straight. A hurricane washes up onshore. The storm causes employers to fire more people. AND the claims office is open the entire week. Have I got it right?

How significant was Sandy in affecting claims, anyhow? it only affected NY and NJ for three days of the month, Oct. 29 to 31 anyhow...

"I think we have an ugly surprise coming in the December Jobs Report folks.... in fact, given what I'm seeing here I think an expectation of a negative print had better be in the forefront of your mind, because I'm starting to have trouble seeing how we avoid it."
I smell some extra fraud in the works...
I have 3 friends who work in the unemployment office for MN and let me tell you what, the fraud there is so bad it isn't even funny. They complain about it all the time (and yes they are Dems and somehow this actually strengthens their views)and there is nothing they can do about it.
so I bet if the powers that be think it matters enough I bet they will just fudge the numbers a little bit more than they usually do. I highly doubt what they see is an isolated event and none of the other states do the same.

Costs are up. And going up again. Squeezing more income. http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section....Forrest Claypool, CTA president. The passes, which Claypool says are mostly used by visitors to Chicago, have been heavily subsidized for years. Under the new fare schedule, the cost of a 30-day pass will go from the current $86 to $100, the seven-day from $23 to $28, the three-day from $14 to $20. The single day pass will nearly double, going from $5.75 to $10. CNBC - Santelli announcement this morning on the unemployment numbers. . http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=300....

We can take this to the bank through the Christmas season...
1) Any "misses" (and there will be many) will be blamed on Superstorm Sandy
2) Any "beats" (few though they're likely to be) will be evidence that "WE'RE SAVED - PRAISE OBAMA!!!!"
As good an excuse as any to basically ignore the news for the next month or so, methinks.

That is about 90K above a normal expanding economy, meaning we are falling 400K jobs a month short of increasing the workforce percentage. Thats 5 million annualized. I guess the employment percentage will continue to shrink. When the free **** runs out, which it will, we could see unemployment go to 20%.

NSA claims from last week were revised upward as well, to over 478K. 'Tis the season, it's just a matter of how bad the numbers are compared to last year and right now they're not looking good.
