Thursday, April 17, 2025
Summary:
Big beats in new and continuing claims. For those, like Elvis Costello, waiting for the end of the world, you'll have to wait another week. DOGE firings -- to the extent they even exist -- are being absorbed. On the week, federal and federal-adjacent jobs grew by 1.6 thousand. Cumulatively, net job losses are a mere 2.0 thousand.
