And the news remains bad, initial claims fell by only 1000 to a too-damn-high 388,000, with the 4 week moving average and continuing claims rising, though extended claims fell a bit.
Furthermore, we saw durable goods orders cratering. They fell 4% in March.
As I mused earlier, I think that a lot of the good numbers in the 1st quarter were economic activity moving up because of a historically mild winter.
