NEW YORK -
Until our economy gets
back to where it needs to be, there's going to be a lot of talk about
unemployment numbers.
And the good news
Thursday, the number of new applications for unemployment benefits dropped.
The Labor Department
reports, last week about 366,000 people filed for first-time jobless claims.
And that's 5,000 less
people than the week before.
The Associated Press says
this indicates companies are hiring at a modest but steady pace.
