IT TAKES A LOT OF WORK TO NOT FIND A JOB:
The number of people seeking US unemployment aid fell last week (CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER, 3/10/16, AP)
Weekly unemployment benefit applications fell 18,000 to a seasonally adjusted 259,000. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, dropped 2,500 to 267,500, the lowest reading since the week of Oct. 31. And the number of people actually receiving benefits also declined, falling 4,500 to 2.25 million. That's down 6 percent from a year ago.
