I'm on my phone so maybe I am missing something, but it looks like it is decently consistent over the last year. It is down from the first number from May of 2024 (by 1000).

Think it’s still a bit early for the current chaos to reflect. Tariffs in particular will take time to trickle through. Stuff like people reporting +100% bills was only like last week

Pretty interesting how before 2008 it seems like 300k+ was the normal annual number and after 2008 it has downward trend to 200k.

I guess we did a pretty good job engineering the economy with money printing. Too bad the other half of Keynes's ideas (increase taxes during the good times) was never done so we could keep the trend going.
