Daily Digit: 410,000 New Jobless Claims

Description:410,000 is the daily digit today. This is the number of new applications for unemployment benefits filed in the U.S. last week. It is lower than a week earlier, but still pretty hefty because of super storm Sandy. The massive storm left millions of homes and businesses without electricity, shut down public transportation and led many factories in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast to curtail production. Retail sales fell as Sandy slammed the brakes on automobile purchases last month. (0:51)
