 More unemployment claims are being filed in Alabama. The State Labor Department reporting a jump in applications last week. I'm Jim Faraday. And you're up to date around your world, around your state. This is the Alabama Radio Network. This is Nnamdi Asamoah. I play football for the Philadelphia Eagles, but what I do off the field with United Way might be more important. I'm a volunteer tutor and mentor. Why? Because over a million kids a year drop out of school, and that's not okay.
