U.S. Jobless Fall To Lowest Level In More Than Three Years

Tara Murphy, 04.08.04, 10:33 AM ET

NEW YORK - Making headlines this morning, there's more evidence that the U.S. labor market is firming today, as last week's jobless claims fell to their lowest levels in more than three years.

The Labor Department says claims tumbled by 14,000, to 324,000, which backed the optimistic March jobs report. The decline was much greater than what economists were looking for and could generate talk of an earlier-than-expected rate hike from the Federal Reserve Board. Meanwhile, the four-week moving average of new claims dipped to 336,750, it's lowest since Nov. 2000.
