The Labor Department reported that initial jobless claims climbed again last week but remain at a very low level. Demand for labor is strong and there are no reason to believe this will change anytime soon. Even as initial claims have risen, the total rolls of benefit recipients has fallen, indicating more people are finding jobs than losing them. Claims in regular state programs increased 21,000 to 218,000 for the week ending May 14th, after reporting 197,000 initial claims the prior week. The four-week moving average rose to 199,500 from 191,250 the prior week. The total number of people continuing to receive regular ongoing state benefits, a report which is lagged one week, decreased 25,000 to 1.317 million for the week ending May 7th.

That’s been of great benefit.”
