The number of Americans who filed requests for unemployment   insurance last week hovered near a four-month high, defying expectations that   applications would begin to recede after a recent spike. The Labor Department   reported weekly jobless claims totaled 386,000, seasonally adjusted, in the   week ended April 14. Claims from two weeks ago were revised up to 388,000   from an initial reading of 380,000. It was the second straight time claims   were revised higher by a  large amount.
Always serving the   West Side first, I am Bill Roller of BR Capital for AM 1360 KUIK.
