US Recurring Jobless Claims Jump to Highest Since End of 2021
(Bloomberg) -- Recurring applications for US unemployment benefits rose to the highest since the end of 2021, adding to evidence that it is taking unemployed Americans longer to find a new job. Shuttered NY College Has Alumni Fighting Over Its Future Trump's Military Parade Has Washington Bracing for Tanks and Weaponry NYC Renters Brace for Price Hikes After Broker-Fee Ban NY Long Island Rail Service Resumes After Grand Central Fire Do World's Fairs Still Matter? Continuing claims, a proxy for the number of people receiving benefits, advanced to 1.96 million in the week ended May 31, according to Labor Department data released Thursday. That was above all estimates in a Bloomberg survey. Meanwhile, a measure of new filings that smooths volatility climbed to the highest since August 2023. The spike in recurring claims coincides with a slowdown in hiring, suggesting that out-of-work people are struggling to find employment. However, the report covers periods that included Memorial Day and the start of summer school breaks in some states, which tends to make the data more volatile. Federal Reserve officials are widely expected to hold interest rates steady at their meeting next week, as they wait to see how President Donald Trump's policies affect the economy. Job growth slowed but remained healthy in May, while inflation data released this week showed limited impact from tariffs so far. In a separate report Thursday, US producer price inflation remained muted in May across the board, another sign that higher levies have yet to result in higher prices for consumers and businesses. Treasury yields and the dollar fell after the economic data. What Bloomberg Economics Says... 'Employers are cautious about growth prospects, leading to a relatively weak hiring rate and making it difficult for those who lose jobs to find new ones.' —Eliza Winger To read the full note, see here The claims report shows initial filings were unchanged last week, slightly above forecasts. But the four-week moving average of new applications, a metric that reduces fluctuations, rose to 240,250, the highest since August 2023. Before adjusting for seasonal factors, initial claims also rose last week. California, Minnesota and Pennsylvania saw the largest increases. --With assistance from Nazmul Ahasan. (Adds chart.)
