Weekly Economic Review | June 9, 2025 Jun 9, 2025The Labor Department reported that initial jobless claims rose more than expected last week to the highest weekly count since the week ended October 5, 2024. The data reflect a gradual cooling in the labor market. The accumulation of higher continuing claims suggests that people who lose a job are having an incrementally more difficult time finding a new one and initial claims are slowly creeping higher. First time claims in regular state programs recorded 247,000 for the week ending May 31st, after the prior week’s report of 239,000. The four-week moving average climbed to 235,000 from 230,500 the prior week. Continuing claims, a proxy for people who are already receiving benefits and still cannot find a job, decreased 3,000 to 1,904,000 for the week ending May 24th.
