By Kim Mackrael New applications for unemployment assistance fell last week, a sign of modest improvement during a holiday period clouded with uncertainty around impending changes to benefit payments. Weekly initial claims for jobless benefits from regular state programs, a proxy for layoffs, declined by 19,000 to a seasonally adjusted 787,000 in the week ended Dec. 26, the Labor Department said Thursday. That marked a second consecutive decline from the three-month high recorded earlier in December, when virus cases were surging and more jurisdictions were bringing back economic restrictions to control the spread of the coronavirus. Last week s level remains higher than any recorded before this year, although it is down sharply from a peak of nearly 7 million in late March. The four-week average of claims, which smooths volatile data, rose to the highest level since early October.

Hot FM COVID Can’t Stop Santa
Express Employment Professionals in Texarkana, USA is hosting their 5th annual toy drive, noting that “COVID Can’t Stop Santa.”
Staff members from Express have chosen to support Child Protective Services and children who are placed in foster care through this year’s drive, which will be the 5th year, noting that the foster care population has increased tremendously over the years and the children they served are frequently overlooked and often are the ones in the most need. Often taken from their homes with only the clothes on their back, children served by CPS are vulnerable and need comfort. Toys donated to CPS/ Department of Human Services are used at the time of placement and throughout the year for birthdays, Christmas and other holidays. Children in Miller, Bowie, Little River, Hempstead, and Cass Counties will benefit from this event.
