Jobless claims aren't as low as they seemed

"In a single week of March 2020, more than 6 million people filed jobless claims, one of 10 weeks in a row in the millions — completely outside any historic norm. This created a distortion of the math the Labor Department does to correct for the usual seasonal ebbs and flows in the data." #jobless #data #workforcemanagement

New seasonally adjusted data implies the job market isn't as extraordinarily tight as was originally implied.
