Comment on Number of Americans filing for jobless benefits remains low in a thriving labor market

Not that it’s not correct, but it could be misleading? My job has been firing tons of people for the last few years. They offer them a contract which includes a 6 month severance as long as they don’t apply for benefits. In return the company doesn’t pay more for having a lot of people collecting unemployment. From everywhere I see lots of places are laying off people, we can’t be the only ones paying people off.

Well, logically, if people aren’t filling for unemployment benefits because they’re all employed right? Success.
