I’m Now A Statistic

February 5th, 2009

I am now a statistic. This week’s number of new claims for unemployment benefits would be 625,999 if it wasn’t for the fact I was laid off.

The government says new claims for unemployment benefits jumped to their highest level in more than 26 years.

The Labor Department says the number of laid-off workers seeking jobless benefits rose last week to a seasonally adjusted 626,000, from the previous week’s upwardly revised figure of 591,000. The latest total is far more than analysts’ expectations of 583,000.
