Initial Jobless Claims Climb for Week
he number of U.S. workers filing initial unemployment benefits rose 3,000 last week to 322,000, the Labor Department reported Thursday.
The increase led to a jobless level that was greater than the 320,000 predicted by economists, Bloomberg reported.
The four-week moving average of claims, a less volatile measure, rose to 325,000 from 324,750 a week earlier, Labor said.
