Jobless claims fall to lowest level since 2006

Your question is nonsense, akin to, "do you drive to work or take your lunch?"

If you can't answer, it's ok. I didn't honestly expect you would.

Those charts you posted have shot down your own argument, lol.

No, they don't. I said there wasn't any hiring, and the data I posted shows that hiring was the lowest since 2010, with it being the third biggest drop since the crisis. What are you, a teenage girl with all the "lol"s?

And by the way, was that you arguing six months ago that the severe weather last winter had nothing to do with the Q1 economic slowdown? Because your post asserts the opposite. LOL.

Where does my post indicate it was severe weather that caused the Q1 slowdown?

It's a weekly report, what has the stock market done this last week?

So being down 50 points after a 1000 point run up is "languishing"? At least we get the context of exaggeration in that report.

Oh, and Lol!

The context of the report is a week.

Great, so "comfort" is up vs. last week despite stock market "languishing". What has that got to do with what we were talking about, again?

We haven't taken a look at gasoline prices in your neighborhood in a while...

Quite the drop.

It pertains to your doom and gloom.

And they're both taking lessons from the DBPhoenix school of "Facts are for Sissies".

Which fact was that, the falling jobless claims, or the continuing hiring?

So now we're on gas prices? I guess you're unable to debate the hiring info, so I guess you yield that point and we agree.

Yes, gas prices have taken a big drop lately. It's welcome relief to consumers, and part of the reason that consumer comfort index you posted is showing gains.

Agreed.
