US jobless claims rise to 500K - highest level since Nov. 2009
August 19 2010
The number of U.S. workers making new claims for jobless benefits unexpectedly rose last week to the highest level in nine months, the Labor Department said in its weekly report Thursday — a distressing sign for an already weak labor market.
Initial unemployment claims rose by 12,000 to 500,000 in the week ended Aug. 14. It was the highest level since Nov. 14, when claims stood at 509,000.
Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires predicted filings would decline by 4,000.
The four-week moving average, which aims to smooth volatility in the data, rose by 8,000 to 482,500. It was the highest level since December 2009. New claims for the previous week, ending Aug. 7, were revised up to 488,000 from the originally reported 484,000.
