WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The number of initial claims for regular state unemployment insurance benefits fell 27,000 to 451,000, seasonally adjusted, in the week ended Sept. 4, the Labor Department reported Thursday. Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected a level of 470,000. The four-week average of initial claims -- a more accurate gauge of employment trends -- fell 9,250 to 477,750. The number of workers who continued to receive state unemployment checks fell by 2,000 to 4.48 million in the week ended Aug. 28. The four-week average of these continuing claims fell 3,250 to 4.49 million, the lowest level since December of 2008. Altogether, about 9.67 million people were collecting some type of unemployment benefit in the week ended Aug. 21, compared with about 9.73 million in the prior week.

"For the latest reporting week, nine states didn’t file claims data to the Labor Department in Washington because of the federal holiday earlier this week, a Labor Department official told reporters. As a result, California and Virginia estimated their figures and the U.S. government estimated the other seven, the official said."
 
The economy is finally growing, all those trillions they threw at the economy is finally working, with this new $50 Billion infrastructure plan in the works everyone will be working once again, unemployment rates will be at historical lows under 2% as everyone in america will be guaranteed a job one way or another and everything will be good, thanks bubble ben bernanke, thanks, you are doing a fine job at propping the economy back up.
