From Huffingtonpost.com:
WASHINGTON — For a 10th straight week, the number of people who are continuing to claim jobless benefits increased, fresh evidence that the labor market remains weak despite other hopeful signs that the recession may have bottomed out.
New claims for unemployment benefits last week rose to a seasonally adjusted 652,000 from the previous week's revised figure of 644,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. The total number of people claiming benefits jumped to 5.56 million, worse than economists' projections of 5.48 million, a ninth straight record and the highest total on records dating back to 1967.
Advice to those working: First & foremost, Be Grateful! Next: Stay ahead of the game. Go above and beyond the call of duty-- or in other words, do more than what's expected of you. Triple check your work. Be early or, at least on time, each and every day. Don't take days off; Do your best to schedule appointments around your work schedule. . It's no joke out there and there are lines of other qualified people waiting to take your job...and very probably for less money. So, Stay on your toes. Just sayin'!
