Thursday 4th September, 2008
With US companies responding to the slowing economy by pushing out more product with fewer workers, the US government has revealed jobless claims rose last week.

The Labor Department reported that new applications for unemployment insurance rose to a seasonally adjusted 444,000, up 15,000 from the previous week.
