Jobless claims rise more than expected- Market Dispatches - MSN Money

Initial jobless claims rose by 11,000 to a seasonally adjusted 444,000 last week, the Labor Department reported this morning.

Economists had expected an increase to 436,000 from a previously reported 434,000 the week earlier.

More layoffs - more bad news.

It's all about politics, 100% of the time. Any glimpse of good news, the right-wing scatters to find a way to dismiss it.

This country makes me sick sometimes. Politics suck.

And it sure helps to paint those you disagree with as evil blood sucking vampires too. This way you can help justify your opinions as being the correct ones, because those who oppose you are evil.

I also heard that they under counted the unemployment numbers by one million, and they will be adjusting the employment numbers to reflect it. I'm not sure when this will happen.
