If the job market is getting better as?

Liberals claim why are we seeing an increase in the number of jobless claims?

The number of people filing initial claims for unemployment insurance benefits rose by 2,000 to 304,000 during the week ending April 12, according to the U.S. Labor Department.

    not. They sign up because of the threat "if you don't sign up,

    you'll pay a fine".

    Liberals don't understand the numbers. They go only by the unemployment rate which doesn't take into consideration the number of people who have left the job market altogether. Their unemployment has run out so they are no longer counted, but they are not getting jobs.

    Because you are looking at one data point and making a conclusion instead of looking at a trend over time.

    This is called the "texas sharpshooter" fallacy. You cherry-picked a data cluster to suit your argument, or found a pattern to fit a presumption.
