The Labor Department reported that initial jobless claims fell more than expected last week and the prior week’s number of claims was revised lower. The very low number of claims matches the lowest reading ever, except for one month in 1968. This week’s data is considered more reliable than reports over the last two years as it returns to the seasonal adjustment process that was used prior to COVID. Claims in regular state programs decreased 5,000 to 166,000 for the week ending April 2nd, after reporting a downwardly revised 171,000 initial claims the prior week. The four-week moving average fell to 170,000 from 178,000 the prior week. The total number of people continuing to receive regular ongoing state benefits, a report which is lagged one week, increased 17,000 to 1.523 million for the week ending March 26th.
