The Labor Department reported that <strong>initial jobless claims</strong> fell last week, potentially alleviating some concerns that the labor market is cooling too fast. Initial claims are always more volatile amid summer shutdowns of auto plants for retooling, and this year disruptions from Hurricane Beryl added to the volatility. First time claims in regular state programs recorded 233,000 for the week ending August 3rd after the prior week’s report of 250,000. The four-week moving average climbed to 240,750 from 238,250 the prior week. Continuing claims, which include people who have received unemployment benefits for a week or more, rose 6,000 to 1,875,000 for the week ending July 27th. The insured unemployment rate, the number of people currently receiving unemployment insurance as a percentage of the labor force, remained at 1.2%.
