Just kidding. Buried in their business digest section we learn:
“Other reports showed that the number of workers filing claims for unemployment insurance dropped less than forecast last week and that wholesale prices climbed more than projected in April.
Applications for jobless benefits decreased 44,000 in the week ended May 7, to 434,000, Labor Department figures showed.”
