Record number to lose jobless benefits
375,000 workers to lose payments this month

"A record-high 375,000 jobless workers will exhaust their unemployment insurance this month and an estimated 2 million workers will find themselves in the same predicament during the first half of the year, according to an analysis of Labor Department statistics by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities."

"Labor Department officials noted that President Bush approved extensions of jobless benefits since he took office."

"New jobs have been created five months in a row, while the nation's unemployment rate and new claims have fallen significantly," Ed Frank, a department spokesman, said in a statement. "Still, the president has said many times that he's not going to rest until every person who wants a job can find one."

"Still, the president has said many times that he's not going to rest until every person who wants a job can find one."

That's a pledge that carries weight, coming as it does from President Maximum-vacation/Minumum-workday, sure.....
