The Department of Labor announced that first-time jobless
claims remained below the week of January 14 continuing a trend that has been
going on for several months. This was the
biggest drop in first-time unemployment benefit claims since September 2005 and
the lowest first-time claims have been since March 2008.
Additionally, the Census Bureau announced that monthly sales
of durable goods in December were up 3 percent, another indication that manufacturing
growth is continuing, that’s higher than expected and continues another
positive trend.
These reports of continuing improvement in the economy are good news for Obama and the Democrats and bad news for Republicans.
