In this Friday, March 29, 2013, people line up outside a restaurant in front of a help wanted sign in Richmond, Va. The number of Americans seeking unemployment aid rose to a four-month high in the week ending March 30, 2013, although the increase partly reflects seasonal distortions around the spring holidays.
