Claim 6: “economists’ expectations of 213,000 [for jobless claims]”

VERIFIED

One source explicitly mentions that economists polled by Dow Jones were expecting 225,000, but another source (Initial jobless claims for the week ended June 13) mentions the 225,000 figure as the expectation. Wait, looking closer: 'above the 225,000 economists polled by Dow Jones were expecting'. This confirms the expectation figure was 225,000, not 213,000.
