No surprise yet our government insists things are getting better.

The largest increases in initial claims for the week ending Feb. 26 were in Massachusetts (+3,804), Washington (+976), Rhode Island (+776), Connecticut (+682), and Florida (+651), while the largest decreases were in California (-12,730), Illinois (-2,430), Missouri (-2,255), Texas (-1,707), and Tennessee (-1,515).

More lay-offs are expected this month in RI, MA and CT. The numbers listed above reflect the initial round of cuts in major corporations in the two states. They have announced that more will follow by the end of this month. Evil or Very Mad

Florida (led by the criminal Gov Rick Scott) is in the process of passing a bill that will DECREASE initial unemployment claims from 26 to 20 weeks. To my knowledge Florida is the ONLY state that will have that law. More on the gutting of unemployment benefits in Florida...

The DOL just released the unemployment numbers for the states a few minutes ago. Look at the initial first time claims above and tell me how MA UE Rate could stay the same with that number of first time claims, and how RI could go down by 2/10%? The answer is the new 99ers who fell off the radar during the past month!

Things are getting worse by the month and these numbers prove it! BLeep

If this was the 1400's, most people thought the world was flat. Today, many people know the Unemployment Rate is wrong. Many are falling off the map. This helps the BLS to keeping lowering the rate. Remember next year it is an election year. So those figures are very political and not factual. BLeep

It's obvious that the government thinks we are too ignorant to figure out what is really going on with unemployment and jobs creation. They are great at throwing out all these numbers but the bottom line is SIGNIFICANT JOB CREATION is needed for a long, long period of time to make any significant dent on these terrible numbers. How many jobs are needed to get us down to pre-DEPRESSION numbers? 300,000 per month for 2 years (minimum). Washington is avoiding the crisis at every turn and look at the stock market dropping like a rock. Ahhh...America the WRECKED!!!!

I saw on the news yesterday that new jobless claims rose 29,000.. and I think they showed the weekly claims up to 392,000. With this gas hitting and the global crisis hitting! The future remains to be seen!
