Weekly Jobless Claims Surprisingly Rise
ONTARIO, CA - FEBRUARY 25: Job seekers and employers come together at the Inland Empire Career Fair on February 25, 2010 in Ontario, California. The Labor Department has announced that first-time claims for unemployment insurance rose by 22,000 to a seasonally adjusted 496,000. Some analysts were expecting a drop to 455,000 but heavy snow storms through much of the nation caused the loss of construction and other jobs that can be effected by weather. New hiring has been slow to catch up to the growth of the economy over the past six months. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
