Initial Weekly Jobless Claims Drop

Some good news from the Department of Labor: initial jobless claims dropped last week, falling from an adjusted 478,000 to 451,000. Still, the number is high, as it has been since January. Weekly claims need to decline into the 300,000s to indicate a drop in the overall unemployment rate.
