Thread: Jobless claims surge please post comment

WASHINGTON -- The number of newly laid off workers filing claims for unemployment benefits soared last week.

The Labor Department reported Thursday that claims for unemployment benefits rose by 35,000 to 380,000. Private economists had expected claims would rise by a smaller 18,000.

The report on jobless claims came a day ahead of a report on unemployment for April. Economists expect that report will show that the unemployment rate edged up to 5.2 percent in April, from 5.1 percent in March. The economy is expected to lose 70,000 jobs, the fourth straight month of job losses.

This is the type of propaganda we are having in Oklahoma, please post comment, we need alot of help in Tulsa. This newspaper is nothing but pro illegal.

Oklahoma's unemployment is DOWN and the lowest in the nation because of Enforcement of Immigration Laws. Now we have a STATE Employee calling in the FEDS because he can not speak spanish to an ILLEGAL taking a drivers test, suppose he has an Elitist Agenda!

Oklahoma and Arizona have both implemented bills that enforce immigration laws resulting in ILLEGALS leaving their states and returning to their home country or moving to another state to drain their resources, Oklahoma Citizens Should Be PROUD!!! The Chamber of Commerce always claims to follow Immigration Laws but continuously become confused about the interpretation of the law.
