Claims have dropped steadily since last fall, as companies cut fewer jobs. That has caused some economists to hope that hiring may increase soon.
Isn't it comforting that economists are figuring in the "hope" factor?

The only thing that rivals the frequency of the term ‘unexpected’ is the constant use of the term ‘economic recovery’ in news reports. I guess rising unemployment numbers should be ‘unexpected’ in a ‘recovery’.
Word of the day for Thursday:
UNEXPECTEDLY
Ooh. Very nice!
AP and other wire services are on par with Mad Magazine. It's becoming hard to tell which is more hilarious, but I feel the wire services have the edge since it's suppose to be serious (In their own little worlds).
“unexpectedly”....gee whiz...
I am waiting for the day that the liberal media unexpectedly drops this word as a prefix to all the bad news.
This would be hilarious were it not so tragic. Every friggin’ week... “unexpected/surprising”
EUC compensation grew by over 650,000. It now stands at over 5.5 million! And yet stocks are basically even.
Odd the most unexpected thing to happen in decades was Teddy’s lost seat and the MSM never used the “u” word once for that. Lots of “a” words for an an angy, aggressive, electorate though.
“I can name a dozen who love staying home and are living off the checks, not even trying to get a job....”
Isn’t that the truth....
Americans who used to work for a living, I think. And anybody else with half an honest brain.
Bush’s fault!!
Former President Bush called and told me to lay you off. I know this is unexpected, but.......
Darn. I was sure that mandating home insulation would create 2.1 million new green jobs.
Ding...Ding...Ding
We have a winner!!
Ya know, we still have all those jobs "Americans won't do", otherwise we wouldn't still have 20 million illegal aliens.
Kill most of the EPA, all of Endangered Spieces Act, and wetland regulation of inland areas (any mud puddle with a cattail is a wetland), pass real tort reform, no taxes for 10 years on all new industry in the USA (manufacturing, mining, oil energy, etc.), change the Departments of Energy and Labor so that they actually promote industry and energy production and let the states regulate (see which states shoot themselves in the foot), make the USA a "right to work" country, and finally, eliminate polictal correctness and "social justice" from society and see how fast America becomes an economic giant.
Nothing I mentioned above is radical - it's just the way it used to be in the USA, and what spawned every great invention over the past 200 years. Is it "unexpected" that there has been very little improvement in the last 30 years. Innovation has been taxed and regulated out of existiance all over the world - here included.
Today, instead of getting the telephone, light bulb, aeroplane, and the digital computer, we get the Sham-Wow and Chop-o-Matic!
These “unexpected” results tell you more about what the fawning white guilt media knows about economics and job creation than anything else. Simple logic, very simple logic, tells you a reduction in the level of newly reported job losses does not mean an increase in job creation. Morons to the max.
One problem with his theory. Who will work to pay the taxes if everyone lives like a democrat? Who will get out of bed to bake the bread?
