U.S. jobless claims dip in sign of labor market strength
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits dropped 1,000 to a seasonally adjusted 216,000 for the week ended Dec. 22, the Labor Department said on Thursday.
Initial claims have now fallen in three of the last four weeks and are just above the 49-year low of 202,000 reached in the week ended Sept. 15.
The four-week moving average of initial claims, considered a better measure of labor market trends as it irons out week-to-week volatility, also fell last week.
