funny, those adjustments.

The number of applications was estimated for California, Virginia and Hawaii because of the holiday-shortened week, the Labor Department spokesman also said.


The number of people who continue to collect jobless benefits fell by 71,000 to 3.16 million in the week ended Jan. 12, the fewest since July 2008. The continuing claims figure does not include workers receiving extended benefits from the federal government.

Any more paranoid conspiracies for me to keep my eyes peeled for? I always enjoy these... kinda like Ancient Aliens and duck dynasty combined into one.

There's no paranoia about it at all . . . readjusting unemployment rates weeks after their original announcement is quite common. 

The government regularly leaves out key figures in its announcements.

This is fact.
