April 08, 2004 Jobless claims The number of Americans filing initial claims for jobless benefits fell to 328,000 last week, the lowest in more than three years, a government report showed.Question: How is Kerry going to campaign on this....."the economy is booming now.....so we should reverse the current economic policy"?
