Aiken Standard readers note rising rents in Whittier California where a geology student pays 1045 dollars monthly, up 200 from prior rent as Zillow reports nearly 14 percent average increases. Demand rose nationwide after the 2007 housing collapse with foreclosures pushing people into rental units. Builders faced loan gaps during the credit crisis stalling apartment construction until recently.

The Labor Department reports a seasonally adjusted 326000 people sought unemployment benefits last week, up 16000 from the prior period. The four week average edged higher to 319500, signaling resilient job growth and fewer layoffs as the economy moves toward prerecession levels.
US service sector expanded in March with ISM index at 53.1, up from 51.6, signaling faster growth as hiring rose 6.1 points to 53.4. New orders climbed to 53.4 while weather disruptions fade, suggesting further improvement into April and a pickup amid a lagging economy.
