The initial jobless claims just hit a level we haven't seen in 56 years. Wild.

Only one week back in 2022 came within 2,000 claims of this number. Beyond that? You're traveling back to September 1969 to find anything comparable.

This labor market is holding up way stronger than most people realize.

Wait, unemployment claims spanning 56 years? This data is getting a bit hard to believe. How come the 2022 wave didn’t break the record?

theoretically speaking, if we map jobless claims through a recursive historical lens... the labor market's resilience here feels like an underdetermined equilibrium. 56 years is basically a full cycle in macroeconomic bridging theory, ngl.
