[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	4 week moving average for initial claims is up 250 to 355,000. (Essentially flat). Continuing claims up 3.41 million, vs 3.40 million the prior week. There are actually still 7.5 million Americans receiving some kind of continuing claims... not all of whom are shown in the BLS 3.41 million number. Some of these are for veterans returning from overseas, etc. Needless to say, this is slowwwwly going the wrong direction. We need steady improvement to get anywhere... not staying flat, and certainly NO backslides. This is no surprise to those who have watched these posts for months. We still have a huge percentage (~15 to 18%) of the population who are "unemployed and underemployed". As the market shows any lift, more of those people will pile into the employment office, fail to find work, and keep the initial claims flat or climbing. tl;dr -- We're still in a rut. We are barely replacing the normal churn in the economy, and we have a ton of people who are still waiting in the wings to work despite the numbers. -----signature----- In the immortal words of Socrates - "I drank what?"

	From your data I can conclude that we're going to be at war for a very long time because no president wants those returning vets cluttering up the unemployment figures. Where's my fucking flag.

	That's the plan. Keep them well-trained, well-geared, and in the military indefinately. And...from time to time, give them something to do. -----signature----- "Them Bollinger Bands on the DJIA are starting to look like columns of projectile vomit." ~ Red Pill
