Jan 30 (Reuters) - The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits rose more than expected last week, but the underlying trend suggested the labor market continued to heal.
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits increased 19,000 to a seasonally adjusted 348,000, the Labor Department said on Thursday. Claims for the prior week were revised to show 3,000 more applications received than previously reported.
Economists polled by Reuters had forecast first-time applications for jobless benefits rising to 330,000 in the week ended Jan. 25.
The four-week moving average for new claims, considered a better measure of underlying labor market conditions as it irons out week-to-week volatility, edged up 750 to 333,000

So unemployment applications going up is actually good news.
Some “healing”.
Drink!
LOL John, you beat mine by 13 seconds.
Bunk.
Bring back American employment.
JOBS. Now.
I thought most people were on welfare,foodstamps, disability etc as all of these have skyrocketed with the marxist Obama
and government and university jobs don't count as they don't really work for example the moon bats doing global warming studies at NASA and NOOA ,EPA : ditto for Lois Lerner at the IRS oppressing conservatives
it's time to expect the unexpected.
Oh God, its too early in the morning to drink...

Of course. But you have to keep in mind that it doesn't work this way when a Republican is president.
> Bring back American employment.

But that would go against der Fuehrer’s wishes. He’s trying to destroy capitalism to bring about our financial ruin with the ACA and the liberal iiots are too stupid to see it.
I had looked way too early then forgot then saw the market up on some type of bogus good news and remembered this. Same song, different day.
What's the count on that now - like 3 times it hasn't been adjusted up since Zer0's coronation?
So where are the Republicans, demanding a change, demanding more American jobs?
Where?
Both of our parties have sold out.
Working right now, but we’re waiting for the final information on the “salary evaluation” the company did over the last year. So I’m expecting a huge raise. /sarc
