Jobless Claims Drop To Lowest Level Since 2008

The number of people applying for unemployment benefits fell sharply last week, a positive sign that the job market is slowly improving.

Full story

OR, most of the country is out of work and it was bound to SLOW DOWN at some point, eh!

HOLY COW 9 million people collecting unemployment. How many more are collecting welfare. Seems we have more people collecting some type of benefit than putting in.

And how long can our country go on like that 9:56 a.m. When the workers retire, somebody will wake up and see there's no money coming in, only going out.

Although the regime will take credit for any good news they can get, this drop is a result of the election. The democrats have done everything they can to stifle business growth since they have been back in power and now their reign is over. Business people have a little more hope now that the lesser of the two evils has taken back some control. Our problems are far from being over, but (hopefully) this election is the first step in one of many to right the course of America before it is too late.

11:02, you already show that no matter what happens this Pres. can do no right in your eyes. lol. So I guess you're already in the crowd that will attribute the impending turn around as having nothing to do with prior decisions made.

When congress made the new extension it only applied to new EUC claims, not those who have already exhausted their EUC. Therefore thousands are now on their own, unable to collect further benefits and are still jobless. I do not see that as good news in any form. I should know, I am now one of the new numbers no longer collecting benefits that I have paid in for over 40 years and still jobless. Let's celebrate!

They have tricked the American people into begging for communism
