May 31 (Reuters) - New U.S. claims for unemployment benefits rose last week for the fourth straight week, which could heighten concerns the labor market recovery is softening.

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits rose 10,000 to a seasonally adjusted 383,000, the Labor Department said on Thursday.

The prior week's figure was revised up to 373,000 from the previously reported 370,000. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast claims unchanged last week.

Claims have now risen in seven of the last eight weeks. Most of those increases were marginal and the overall level of claims has held at levels consistent with a modest recovery in the labor market.

Dullard, it would be a good thing, my friend, even though in pain wouldn't have traded the last days of his life for anything, he got to see his daughter married.

You are just a supreme asshole at times.

I support personal choice, unlike you, who wants to dictate to others how they should live their lives.

FlashBack: Biden forecasts growth of up to 500,000 new jobs a month
Vice President Biden predicted Friday that the U.S. economy would be adding up to 500,000 jobs each month “some time in the next couple of months.”


Biden said he “got in trouble” for his prediction last month of job growth. “Even some in the White House said, ‘Hey, don’t get ahead of yourself,’ ” he said at a Pennsylvania fundraiser, according to a pool report.

“Well, I’m here to tell you, some time in the next couple of months, we’re going to be creating between 250,000 jobs a month and 500,000 jobs a month.
