Good Chance Employment Will Pick Up

Washington officials say there is a good chance unemployment will rise in January but ease toward March. The January week jobless total stood near 3.887 million, with several hundred thousand more expected since. Officials anticipate no sizeable decline before June or July, while a March upturn would avoid tax cuts to spur the economy. Labor Secretary Mitchell predicted unemployment will level off soon, with a possible small March-April rise. February census estimates may show several hundred thousand more jobless. Unemployment insurance claims rose since mid November, then leveled in early February at about 2,118,900, reflecting factory layoffs and broader job losses.
