Hi Stephany,
ReplyDeleteI could be wrong but I believe that the first article you chose about the number of people filing for unemployment dropping to a 49-year low is actually a good thing. It means that less people are filing for unemployment benefits, meaning that more people are employed in the US than they have been in the past 49 years. Now, the government shutdown has affected federal workers but the article stated that those numbers are reported separately and with a week delay. This article statistics timing is weird because of the government shutdown and the MLK holiday that are both not giving a normal representation of what the statistics would be without all the estimations. Overall great post and good article choices, very interesting.
