Associated Press: increased jobless "the latest sign of stability"
THIS is the degree the elite media will go to spin for this president.
Remember when they said that the Bush recovery was a jobless recovery and his unemployment rate was 1% better than Clinton's, which the press reported as "a booming economy"?
This is exactly the kind of press that Eastern Europeans used to make jokes about.
WASHINGTON – Weekly applications for U.S. unemployment benefits ticked up slightly last week, the latest sign of stability in the job market.
The Labor Department said Thursday that applications rose 4,000 to a seasonally adjusted 371,000, the most in five weeks. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, increased 6,750 to 365,750, after falling to a four-year low the previous week.
