29+ min ago (367+ words) U.S. jobless claim applications for the week ending Dec. 6 climbed by 44,000 to 236,000 from the previous week's 192,000, the Labor Department reported Thursday. That's more than analysts' forecast of 213,000. The total number of Americans filing for jobless benefits for the previous week ending Nov. 29 fell by 99,000 to 1.84 million, the government said. That's the lowest level for continuing claims since mid-April. Applications for unemployment aid are viewed as a proxy for layoffs and are close to a real-time indicator of the health of the job market. Jobless claims figures in recent years have remained in a historically healthy range, suggesting that overall layoffs have been muted despite recent high-profile job cuts.

Judge Menahan found the program was being funded illegally, because lawmakers hadn't followed proper procedure. Attorney for the plaintiffs Rylee Sommers-Flanagan says the law took money from school districts with no guarantee students in the program would receive a quality education. "I do not think that the Legislature can constitutionally take public money out of public schools and give it to private individuals," Sommers-Flanagan told MTPR in a phone…...
