Yes sir, vote for Mrs. Tuzla Clinton so she can continue the destruction Obama started.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits rose more than expected last week, posting the biggest gain in more than a year, but the underlying trend continued to point to a strengthening labor market.

Another report on Thursday showed a 35 percent surge in planned layoffs by U.S.-based employers last month. Most of the announced job cuts were concentrated in the energy sector, which is reeling from low oil prices that have hurt profits.

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits increased 17,000 to a seasonally adjusted 274,000 for the week ended April30, the Labor Department said. Last week's increase was the largest since February of last year.

Did you even read the article? Unemployment application rose, "BUT the underlying trend continued to point to a strengthening labor market."

Surge in layoffs in the energy sector! Duh, it has been stated for a while they were taking hits due to low oil prices!

I lean right and don't like Obama, but I get outright distortions, whether by he right or left, are dishonorable!

Does that make sense to you? Unemployment applications are up along with lay offs and that is an indication of a strengthening labor market?
