jobless claims better than expected (if 450 thousand people new out of work is better)
from the bloomberg article on this
"For the latest reporting week, nine states didnât file claims data to the Labor Department in Washington because of the federal holiday earlier this week, a Labor Department official told reporters. As a result, California and Virginia estimated their figures and the U.S. government estimated the other seven, the official said."
haha...what a farce the market is
