There were 210,000 initial jobless claims in the week ending March 23, the weekly data published by the US Department of Labor (DOL) showed on Thursday. This print followed the previous week’s print of 212,000 (revised from 210,000) and came in better than the market expectation of 215,000.
Further details of the publication revealed that the advance seasonally adjusted insured unemployment rate was 1.2% and the 4-week moving average stood at 211,000, a decrease of 750 from the previous week’s revised average.
“The advance number for seasonally adjusted insured unemployment during the week ending March 16 was 1,819,000, an increase of 24,000 from the previous week’s revised level,” the publication read.
