Maxwell moving on from LIRC perhaps

Georgia Maxwell perhaps moving on from the Labor and Industry Review Commission in #Wisconsin, which decides #unemployment cases

#TurdBlossom said something interesting on #FnS this morning regarding the #MidTerms:

"When asked about the #economy, #Republicans need to ask voters: Where were you 4 years ago when #unemployment was up over 8%?"

The last time Unemployment was over 8% was Aug 2020… when #TheCountOfMostlyCrisco was still president.

But note, by the time #Biden left, UE was 4.1%.

They want you to judge T**** on where they THINK the economy WILL BE in 12 months, but judge Biden on what he inherited from T****.

“Goldman:🚨Oil shock will cost the US 10,000 #jobs per month for the rest of the year

Higher inflation + higher #unemployment = stagflation

Let’s look at how that played out in the 70s:

- Oil: 10x
- Silver: 30x
- Gold: 23x
- Bonds: -31%
- S&P: +17% nominal, -50% real (16 years just to break even)

Now compare that to today’s average portfolio:

- Energy: 4%
- Silver: 0–1%
- Gold: 1–2%
- Bonds: 17–40%
- S&P: Huge chunk (no specific data)”

PBS NewsHour - The Latest | Weekly U.S. jobless claims fall to 189,000, lowest in more than five decades by Matt Ott, Associated Press

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

In the week ending April 25, U.S. jobless‑benefit applications dropped by 26,000 to 189,000— the fewest new claims since September 1969 and the lowest level in more than five decades—defying analysts’ expectations of about 214,000. The Labor Department said the four‑week moving average fell to 207,500, while total weekly filers slipped to 1.79 million. Despite this positive signal, the labor market remains strained: core inflation surged, driven in part by higher gas prices as the Iran‑U.S. conflict pushes crude to around $104 a barrel; the Federal Reserve kept rates steady amid Middle‑East uncertainty, and employers added fewer than 200,000 jobs last year after a sharp slowdown following pandemic‑era expansions. Economists warn that elevated energy and material costs, together with AI‑driven hiring caution and lingering tariff impacts, could later revive layoffs even as the unemployment rate stays near historic lows.
