Jobless claims on downward trend
By Lucia Mutikani
WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -
The number of U.S. workers filing new claims for jobless aid edged up
by a slim 1,000 last week and a gauge of underlying labor market
trends hit a nearly 16-month low, evidence the job market continues to
heal.
The Labor Department said on Thursday initial claims for state
unemployment benefits rose to 434,000 after declining for two
consecutive weeks.
Wall Street analysts had expected claims to hit 447,000.
..............................................................................................................................
"The steady decline in initial jobless claims suggests that job losses
are rapidly coming to an end." said Julia Coronado, an economist at
BNP Paribas in New York who expects payrolls increased 25,000 last
month.

STRONG HEALING SIGNS
The pace of layoffs has slowed sharply in recent months as the economy
resumed growth following its worst recession in 70 years.
The improving labor market tone was underscored by a drop in the
four-week moving average for new claims last week to the lowest level
since mid-September 2008.

"The persistent downtrend evident in these data is encouraging and
corroborates our view that the employment situation is turning," said
Michelle Girard, a senior economist at RBS in Greenwich, Connecticut.

Bullshit - read the article. The number of new unemployment claims
goes UP - not down - and anyone says that the job market is
improving? The mall parking lot is nearly empty, the mall 3/4
unleased here and foreclosed on - and anyone doesn't see the reality
of the Obama Depression despite the "green shoots" propaganda?

This Democrat run system is like the old USSR where they would tell you
that thing were great, even when most people couldn't get food or toilet
paper.
How many jobs were created by our Private sector economy this month?
