"The number of people continuing to receive jobless aid fell by 9,000 to 4.4 million, the Labor Department said Thursday. But that doesn't include several million people who are receiving benefits under extended programs approved by Congress.
The number of people on extended benefits rose by about 280,000 to just over 5 million people in the week ending Oct. 2, the latest data available. All told, about 8.8 million people received unemployment aid that week."
