184k jobless claims is not indicative of a healthy economy. Far from it in fact, when you consider some businesses are struggling to cope with a smaller workforce pool to hire from and many have shunned vaccine mandates in favour of going self employed or retiring altogether. A glut of self employed people working online and remotely whilst drawing upon limited resources is not a healthy sign. Perhaps more indicative of the deepening issues, U.S. Continuing Jobless Claims came in worse than expected at 1,992k missing forecasts of 1,900k. The number of jobless claims has actually increased month on month from 1,954k United States Continuing Jobless Claims
