is it really so unexpected?

Jobless Claims Unexpectedly Fall was the Bloomberg headline 8 minutes ago.

Unexpectedly?

We have been having months of economic improvement, increased spending, higher employment, and nobody expected this? The world is not ending, we just have to wait for expectations, news and the market to catch up with reality. Positive surprises are always appreciated, and the news hasn't been perfect, but the general trend has been improvement, improvement, improvement.

I expect more of this to come.
