I have concluded that if I made the claim that as I look out my window the sun is shining, some would find some problem with me making that statement. So, you are correct. When the headline of the day is the historic number of jobless claim, and then I respond with unemployment is 6.7% nowhere near a historic high, the answer is "duh". So why do people argue against a little factoid like that? Why not accept that factoid, which is true, and come back with a good solid counter?
