New U.S. claims for unemployment aid unexpectedly rose last week to touch their highest level in eight months, pushed up by factors ranging from spring break layoffs to the introduction of an emergency benefits program, a government report showed on Thursday.Spring break layoffs? If anything, wouldn't more people in warm climate have jobs due to spring break and all the tourism?
How pathetically lame.
Back in the winter they blamed the snow. Now they're blaming spring break.
What a joke.

Not to mention, "spring break" is an expected event.
It's also generally in March, which would make it a bit hard to dampen late April's unemployment numbers.
The funny thing about this is that in the financial blog I watched the comments were betting if Spring Break would be one of the excuses.
