Unemployment

The U.S. Labor Department Wednesday reported that initial jobless claims declined to 466,000 in the week ended Nov. 21 from 501,000 a week earlier. The 4-week moving average was 496,500, a decrease of 16,500 from the previous week's revised average of 513,000.
The latest figures are the lowest since September 2008 as the economic recovery encourages companies to fire or layoff less employees.
