(Reuters) - The number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits slid last week to the lowest level in more than four and a half years, according to government data that may provide a boost to President Barack Obama a month before voters go to the polls.

One large state didn't report all their data. The Labor Dept. won't say which state.

Imagine that, it was California that did not have enough time to get their unemployment data in before the report came out. The state with ungodly unemployment and a different city filing bankruptcy almost weekly. But I am sure there is no reason to think there was a cover-up.

This jobless claims overall trend seems to be that the labor market is improving. However this is not always the case, especially if someone is cooking the numbers to be lower than the reality. Just last week the number dropped significantly way more than expected, this is because one huge state didn't fully report its figures by the deadline. Because of this, we have seen some payback in the claims data reported this week.

Funny how so many of these earnings reports include thousands of job layoffs. I guarantee we'll play alot of "catch up" in the months to come in so far as the jobs picture goes.

I'm not generally much on conspiracy theories. But this is damned convenient. And given the complete lack of honesty and integrity of this administration...

When politicians "campaign" on some buzzword change, you can be certain they will do the exact opposite. All that bullshit about transparency and this administration is about as "transparent" as Nixon's.
