Jobless claims hit eight-month high - The Hill's On The Money

Quote:
Initial unemployment claims rose their the highest level in eight months this week, a sign that the improving job market might be losing steam.

Applications for first-time unemployment benefits increased by 43,000 to 474,000 for the week ended April 30, the third increase in the past four weeks, and up from the previous week's revised figure of 431,000, the Labor Department reported Thursday.

This report made me sad. I was hoping we actually were in the process of a recovery, even though around here it doesn't look that way and my area is supposed to be one that wasn't hit very badly - other than real estate prices.

I feel so sorry for us as a country.
