"Jobless Claims Rise More Than Expected" - Bing
I read an article with that headline and it seemed to me I've ready a lot of articles with that exact headline or text like that in a news story. So I did a search for just that head line in Bing and Google. Bing gave me 8,600 returns with that exact phrase. Google gave me 52,900. OK, so are these from just today? Nope, these are from news articles dating back to 2009.
This is significant, it means that journalists, economists, and others are NOT expecting jobs claims to rise. They really expect the jobs market to improve, but it keeps surprising them by not doing that. So my question is this...are they willfully ignorant of the economic situation, or just stupid?
