===== How Tax Cuts Trickle Down to China and India ======
Posted 10/28/2004 8:42 AM
Unemployment claims jump by 20,000 last week
WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Americans filing new claims for
unemployment benefits rose last week by 20,000, the largest jump in a
month, the Labor Department reported Thursday.
The bigger-than-expected increase pushed new claims to 350,000 last week
and provided fresh evidence that the labor market is still under pressure
even though the economic recovery is about to celebrate its third
anniversary.
The increase of 20,000 was sharply higher than the 6,000 gain that many
private economists had been expecting and was the biggest one-week rise
since a jump of 21,000 claims in the week of Sept. 25.
The four-week moving average for claims, which is intended to smooth out
some of the volatility from the week-to-week changes, fell slightly to
343,250 last week, down from 348,750 the previous week. It was the lowest
level for the four-week moving average since mid-September.
Labor Department analysts said the increase in the number of new claims is
still being inflated by hurricane-related layoffs in Florida although this
impact has been declining. Claims have been unusually volatile during this
period. Claims had fallen by 25,000 in the week ending Oct. 16.
The health of the economy has been a major debating point in the
presidential campaign with President Bush contending that his tax cuts have
helped the economy to recover from the 2001 recession while challenger Sen.
John Kerry contends that the tax cuts went overwhelmingly to the wealthy
and did little to spur economic growth.
While Bush has pointed to job growth over the past 13 months, Kerry
counters that it has not been enough to make up for all of the jobs lost
since the beginning of the recession. There are 821,000 fewer people on
payrolls than when Bush took office in January 2001.
The number of continuing claims rose by 38,000 to reach 2.82 million in the
week ended Oct. 16, the latest period for which those figures are
available.

I an not sure why any American worker would have the slightest bit of
loyalty to the companies that they work for.
