  • Communities need to be Retro or Retro-adjacent.
  • Please don't upload pornographic content. (use an external image host for that)

I'd be curious as to what the U6 data is. Also not sure I can trust that data under the demons running this administration.

Remember that the number represents new claims only. So for one week there were not so many layoffs/firings - doesn't mean people found jobs.
