According to the U.S. Labor Department, there have been fewer claims filed for unemployment benefits lately. This drops the level down to the lowest it has been in four years.  New applications for jobless benefits have declined, meaning there has been some great employment gains throughout the country.

The government will be releasing February's employment report on March 9th. While the country still has a long way to go for economic recovery, this report is expected to have favorable data that shows job growth accelerating.
