Massachusetts has issued a notification stating that the recent jobless claims report was incorrect due to data fraudulent suspicion in this state. Financial markets are not reacting to this information so far.
The state of Massachusetts was the region, in which the largest increase in the number of jobless claims was recorded. If these data were indeed false, the overall number of claims filed could significantly deviate from the actual analytical consensus. Source: ZeroHedge
