First-time jobless claims rise more than expected

[Zorra]

WASHINGTON (Dow Jones/AP) - More people than expected filed first-time claims for unemployment benefits last week.

The Labor Department says initial jobless claims rose by 15,000 to a seasonally adjusted level of 352,000.

The more stable four-week average rose by 4,000 to a seven-month high of 352,000.

The average forecast of economists had been looking for claims to rise by only 5,000.

Yes, it's no wonder. When Bu$h says "No Child Left Behind" is a "Jobs Program", he really means it. Scary. Truly, the economy has "turned the corner".

And the road goes right off a cliff. The recession is almost over. Soon it becomes a depression.

Folks, let's get this squatting clown out of the WH before weekly jobless claims hit six digits, and we are living in cardboard shacks in residential communities called "Bu$hvilles".
