Job seekers are reflected in a mirror on the ceiling as they line up to register for an employment fair sponsored by National Career Fairs in San Diego, on Aug. 20, 2012.
The number of Americans filing applications for unemployment benefits climbed last week to a one-month high, showing little progress in the labor market.
Jobless claims rose by 4,000 for a second week to reach 372,000 in the period ended Aug.
