The numbers: Businesses aren’t hiring many people or creating lots of jobs, but they aren’t firing many people either, jobless claims show.

The number of people who applied for unemployment benefits in the seven days ended Aug. 2 rose by 7,000 to 226,000, the government said Thursday, but remained near the lowest level of the year. The figures are seasonally adjusted.…”

I thought this was a joke tweet until I saw that he is a Republican congressman, so he’s being serious.

I don't think so. Look at his other tweets.

A. "President Trump is now 6'3" 224 pounds with 4.8% body fat. We might lose him to the NFL draft"
B. "Blocking the Commanders' new stadium deal unless they change their name back to the Redskins is like an HOA requiring you to fly the Confederate flag."
C. "What Joe Biden did today with marijuana possession is going to lead to a massive expansion in the number of jam bands. It sounds harmless now until you've been subjected to a 23-minute bass solo"
D. "Kash Patel is doing such a great job on fighting crime that we are actually having to import sex traffickers from other countries."
E. "Of course Simone Biles is jealous of Riley Gaines. In all her years competing in gymnastics, she never tied for fifth."
F. "f only there was some kind of government agency assigned to monitor and give advance warning. Something like a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. That would be a great agency to fund well and never gut it's funding to give early warning to save lives in these"
G. "Unfortunately, Matt Gaetz is unable to accept a recess appointment because he has plans during most recess periods."

In fact, judging by those tweets, I can't believe he's GOP.

Edit: After looking it up, turns out Jack Kimble is a parody account. There is no 54th Ca district.
 
Sorry to hear that. Which numbers? Initial or continuing? Or both? I am so sick of these fucking mooks in the WH and I'm not even personally affected by it (yet). I hope you land well. You should, eventually.
Initial.

This week marks the end of my severance package. So unemployment, here I come!

Thanks for the kind words. It’s an exceedingly tough market out there currently (as is finally being reflected in the hiring numbers), but I’m hopeful I’ll find something soon.
