Jobless Claims Move Higher As New York Reports Biggest Rise
By BRIAN BLACKSTONE
WASHINGTON --
The number of U.S. workers filing new claims for unemployment benefits
climbed back up toward the half-million mark last week, a government
report showed, suggesting severe weakness in labor markets.
Initial claims for jobless benefits unexpectedly spiked 15,000 on a
seasonally-adjusted basis to 478,000 in the week ended Oct. 18, the
Labor Department said in its weekly report Thursday.
