Reuters (via FindLaw) reports: “Jobless Claims Climb in Latest Week”
First-time unemployment claims rose 13,000 to 349,000 from 336,000 the prior week.
“A Labor Department spokesman attributed a portion of the rise to the filing of applications delayed by the closure of government offices for a national day of mourning for Reagan the week before.”
The four-week moving average was up slightly to 344,250 from 343,250 the prior week, well below the 421,500 registered in the same period a year ago.
Workers drawing benefits for more than a week rose 75,000 to 2.97 million, well below 3.66 million in the same period a year ago.
