U.S. jobless claims tick higher in latest week
Published: Nov. 10, 2022 at 8:42 a.m. ET
By Greg Robb
Claims up 5,000 to 225,000, highest in four weeks
The numbers: Initial jobless claims rose 5,000 to 225,000 in the week ended November 5, the U.S. Labor Department said Thursday.
Economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had estimated new claims would rise 2,000 from last weeks initial estimate of 219,000.
Key details: The number of people already collecting jobless benefits rose by 6,000 to 1.49 million.
Big picture: Labor market conditions remain tight at least for now. The government reported last week that the economy added 261,000 jobs in October.
Still, economists think the pace of the Federal Reserves recent rate hikes will eventually slow the economy and cause firms to layoff workers.
In recent days, Facebook parent Meta META, +4.08% and other tech giants have announced layoffs.
