Jobless Claims in U.S. Little Changed in Payroll Survey Week
Posted on 06:02 by nice news
Fewer than 300,000 Americans filed applications for unemployment benefits for a second week, signaling the labor market remains strong.
Jobless claims rose by 1,000 to 291,000 in the seven days ended March 14, from a revised 290,000 in the prior period, a Labor Department report showed Thursday in Washington. The median forecast of 51 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for 293,000. The figures correspond to the week the government surveys employers to calculate the monthly payroll data, indicating hiring probably continued to pick up.
“The labor market is resilient,” Guy Berger, U.S. economist at RBS Securities Inc. in Stamford, Connecticut, said before the report. “We’ve seen a big pickup in hiring. As long as the labor market holds up, the economy will reaccelerate.”
