Wonder if this will make its round on television news -- my bet is no.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits dropped 19,000 last week, largest decline in two months, the government reported Thursday.
The Labor Department said the decline pushed the level of unemployment benefits down to 334,000 after claims unexpectedly jumped by 23,000 the week before.
The four-week moving average for claims, which smooths out week-to-week volatility, dipped slightly to 336,500 last week, a level viewed as pointing to further improvements in the labor market.
