The number of people who filed for unemployment assistance in the U.S. last week fell unexpectedly, staying close to the lowest level in four decades, official data showed on Thursday.
The number of individuals filing for initial jobless benefits in the week ending Oct. 28 decreased by 5,000 to a seasonally adjusted 229,000 from the previous week’s total of 234,000, the U.S. Department of Labor said.
Analysts expected jobless claims to rise by 1,000 to 235,000 last week. The four-week moving average was 232,500, down 7,250 from the previous week. The monthly average is seen as a more accurate gauge of labor trends because it reduces volatility in the week-to-week data.
