If It's Thursday...

New jobless claims down significantly from 441k to 404k.  Continuing claims also down to 3.86 million.  Things are improving but...very slowly.

The bad news is of course at the end:

However, the total number of Americans on benefit rolls, including extended benefits under emergency government programs, jumped to 9.6 million in the week ended Jan. 1 from 9.2 million the prior week. 

Still a long way to go.
