Weekly Jobless Numbers Dip Sharply

FNC [1] is reporting:

“For the week ending Sept. 4, new applications for unemployment insurance dropped by a seasonally adjusted 44,000 from the previous week to 319,000, the lowest level since July 3, the Labor Department (search) reported Thursday.
The decline of 44,000 was the largest decrease since the week ending Dec. 8, 2001.”

Memo to John Kerry: remember that advise from Bubba about how you need to focus on Bush’s handling of the Economy? You may just want to re-think that strategy. It’s going to be a bleeping hard sell.
