Does anyone understand how the unemployment numbers are being calculated?

I keep reading “weekly intial unemployment claims” reports with about 500,000 people filing

claims, yet the “monthly unemployment”  numbers are only around 250,000  to 600,000.

Wouldn’t 500,000 “new claims” per week translate to about 2,000,000  job losses per month?

What am I missing here?

Does Macy’s make the renovations at Valley Fair or does Westfield Group?

Does Dupont lease their chemical plant?

Is the westfield group going to make renovations when they're fully rented out, or when there is slack time?

Macys would be in charge of renovating internally for sure, and would they shut down their stores during the christmas rush to do this? No. How about a good strong year? no...
