Unemployment claims rose the week of Dec. 15 to a seasonally adjusted 361,000 from a revised 344,000 the week before.
The less-volatile four-week moving average fell 13,750 to 367,750, lowest since late October. Applications had surged in early November after Superstorm Sandy, then dropped back.

Canada does'nt know what to think of us.Their whole mindset has changed in regard to allowing extended stays for US citizens.Even the border guards have become harsher to those entering.I know you wonder what that has to do with this post,but realize that a country that once encouraged our citizens to come now wants nothing to do with us.We always have drama and chaos.They won't have it.I don't blame them a bit.
FOOD STAMPS! YAAAAY!
