    Jobless claims little changed in potential sign that layoffs have hit a plateau

    First-time jobless claims totaled 268,000 last week, a drop of 1,000 from the week before and ahead of the 260,000 estimate.

    The total was in keeping with the past month, indicating that the labor market may be leveling off.

    In a separate report, the Philadelphia Fed’s manufacturing index was much stronger than expected.

    That's good for the general well being of the country, but the stock market has been reacting to this potential for 20 months. So now it may start looking ahead to the the rate hikes that would normally follow a recovery. Give the Fed something to worry about, and the market will continue to climb that wall of worry. Smooth sailing means the Fed will put on the breaks. One or two hikes may be tolerated but history shows three rate hikes can stop a bull market. So, we don't want things to get too hot.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    U.S. weekly jobless claims hold steady below pre-pandemic level; consumer spending rises

    Initial claims for state unemployment benefits were unchanged at a seasonally adjusted 205,000 for the week ended Dec. 18, the Labor Department said.

    A separate report from the Commerce Department on Thursday showed consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, rose 0.6% last month.

    Inflation increased further in November. The personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, excluding the volatile food and energy components, rose 0.5% after a similar gain in October.

    U.S. weekly jobless claims total 207,000, higher than expected amid omicron spread

    Jobless claims totaled 207,000 for the week ended Jan. 1, higher than the 195,000 estimate and 7,000 more than the previous week.

    Continuing claims also rose, climbing to 1.75 million as the omicron spread dented the labor market heading into the end of 2021.

    Also, the U.S. trade imbalance rose less than expected in November though it came close to setting a record.

    Jobless claims jump to 286,000, the highest level since October

    Initial jobless claims totaled 286,000 for the week ended Jan. 15, well above the 225,000 estimate.

    My recent retirement probably threw the numbers off.
