    Trump Administration Asks States To Bury Unemployment Claim Figures
    The Trump administration’s Labor Department sent an email to state officials this week asking them to report new unemployment claims only in “generalities” to avoid spooking financial markets, The New York Times reported.

    The email on Wednesday asked state labor authorities to only “provide information using generalities to describe claims levels (very high, large increase)” until the Labor Department releases the total number of national claims next Thursday.

    “States should not provide numeric values to the public,” Gay Gilbert, the administrator of the department’s Office of Employment Insurance, wrote in the email shared with the Times. The message noted that the figures are closely tracked by financial markets judging the strength of the economy.

    Crooked Donnie continues his patterns of trying to deceive the American people, which is the hallmark of his corrupt, incompetent, and immoral administration.

    While the Obama administration lowered the unemployment rate by 5% after inheriting the Great Republican Recession, Narcissistic Sociopath Donnie's administration only lower the unemployment by a crummy 1% after inheriting the Obama recovery. Not unusual as your typical really bad boss to claim credit for the work of others, right lazy, good-for-nothing Corporate Welfare Queen Donnie?

    The left and their media pets wanted a national emergency, now you got one. Withholding the data does no harm to the public, it can however quell another round of panic. Good call...

    Huffington Post? Gay Gilbert? I think I'll take with a grain of salt, stories that are written by men who go by their stage name.

    Quell the panic until at least next Thursday. Predictions are looking ugly, 1 to 2.5 million.

    Yeh, wouldn’t want the public knowing about the economic outlook, they are way to stupid for that type of information.

    Best the stable genius keeps it from the peons.

    I remember when Republicans demanded transparency and now it’s just a shrug...

    How is it lying? They would be withholding it in a time of national emergency. Do you want another round of panic?

    Not lie but let's have a responsible release of the total numbers so we aren't spooking people and the markets with 50 separate ones. The data will be there.

    But then you seem to want to make it as bad as possible.........curious.

    Better they have time to analyze it without pressure of new panic and formulate plans to deal with it...

    The only reason you want the numbers is bash on Trump. Most sensible folks could understand withholding the data in a time of crisis...

    A lot of that going around, at least on PF. The majority approve of Trump's handling of this crisis.

    Like with him withholding the data of his promised tax returns or the data of the costs of his secret service forced to rent rooms at his various hotels until after the election.

    Seems to be a trend.

    Wait till the new polls come out, that one was done before mass layoffs started.

    I am so glad that polls seem to matter again though!

    But I agree, seems to be more regurgitated NPC nonsense as of late.
    The “I don’t have an argument so I am just going to attack the poster with “TDS” seems to be on an uptick

    The only one that matters is the one 11/3, you seem confident in your dementia candidate.

    The LW 'resistance' crowd needs to help in this current crisis or shut up.

    Because she doesn’t have direct control of the stocks she owns — they are in a blind trust. You know, the thing trump refused to do with his businesses so he could profit off his position?

    You should start a thread about that off topic stuff.

    There's a trend alright, people just looking for reasons to attack the president in a time of crisis. How very patriotic...
