Jobless claims higher than expected...

More news that could be a bit disappointing on the employment front, unemployment numbers higher than expected. It's not seen totally as bad news though:

The number of U.S. workers applying for jobless benefits rose by 7,000 last week to a level slightly higher than expected but still underscoring steady labor market conditions, government data released Thursday showed.

And with the Government supplying the numbers, can you really trust/believe them?

That's the other factor though from a comparative standpoint you can use what they reported before versus what they reported now.
