Initial Jobless Claims came in at 264,000 on 5/9/2015. They were at 262,000 on 4/25/2015.  These were the lowest numbers since 4/15/2000, when they were 259,000.  To get lower than that, you have to go all the way back to 1973 to get lower numbers.

This number will keep going done forever! Or not.
