That's NOT a bellwether for a good economy. (see bottom)
And no one could afford groceries, gas or housing.
You still don't get it, you stupid fuck... unemployment claims have NOTHING to do with EMPLOYMENT or the economy.
You can have high employment AND high unemployment claims.
Claims are only those making the effort to go to the unemployment office and fill out paperwork. MANY don't bother.
You can have lower employment AND low unemployment claims. It all depends on what the out-of-work do.
You can have good economy AND high unemployment claims.
NONE of what you THINK is a bellwether for the other.

Q: Can You Have High Unemployment In A Good Economy?
Yes, it is possible to have high unemployment in a seemingly good economy. Here are a few scenarios where this can occur:
Structural Unemployment: This type of unemployment happens when there is a mismatch between the skills of the workforce and the
needs of employers. Even in a strong economy, certain industries may be thriving while others decline, leading to job losses in
those declining sectors.
Cyclical vs. Structural Factors: An economy can be growing (cyclical growth) while still experiencing high unemployment due to
structural issues. For example, if technological advancements lead to automation, workers in certain jobs may find themselves
unemployed even as the overall economy grows.
Labor Market Dynamics: High unemployment can also occur if there is a large influx of workers into the labor market, such as
recent graduates or immigrants, which can out-pace job creation even in a robust economy.
Policy and Regulation: Sometimes, government policies or regulations can create barriers to employment, such as high minimum
wages or strict labor laws, which might lead to higher unemployment rates despite overall economic growth.
Regional Disparities: Economic growth may not be evenly distributed across regions. Some areas may experience growth while others
lag behind, leading to high unemployment in those less fortunate regions.
Temporary Factors: Certain temporary factors, such as seasonal employment fluctuations or economic adjustments, can also lead to
high unemployment rates even when the economy is performing well overall.
In summary, while low unemployment is often associated with a good economy, VARIOUS FACTORS CAN LEAD TO HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT EVEN IN
A CONTEXT OF ECONOMIC GROWTH.
