It's all in the numbers - somewhere

Only moments ago I was urged to celebrate Obama's getting 53,000 new American jobs from India and then I find out...

US jobless claims see sharp fall, offering hope - Yahoo! News

Initial jobless claims stood at 435,000 in the week ending November 6, a decrease of 24,000 from the previous week's revised figure of 459,000, the Labor Department said.

That was well below the 450,000 level expected by most economists and the lowest level since early July, when claims fell to 427,000.

...we saw 435,000 new jobless claims just last week and that number is considered, in some quarters, a friggin' triumph. 

WTF?
