pplications for unemployment benefits in the US declined last week, reflecting continued strength in the labour market despite broader economic uncertainty around tariffs.
According to data released by the Labor Department on Thursday, jobless claims for the week ending June 28 fell by 4,000 to 233,000. The figure came in below analyst expectations of 241,000, AP reported.
The four-week moving average — which smooths out weekly fluctuations — also dropped by 3,750 to 241,500, further indicating stability in employment trends.
Unemployment benefit applications are widely viewed as a proxy for layoffs. The overall number of Americans receiving unemployment aid for the week ending June 21 remained unchanged at 1.97 million.

Advanced Transport Mgmt System to start on 3 h'ways

Pune: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will soon introduce the Advanced Transport Management System (ATMS) on three national highways that connect to the city, senior officials told TOI on Friday. These three routes include the Pune-Solapur Highway, Pune-Nashik Highway, and Pune-Satara Highway. The ATMS is a set of technologies and software used to improve efficiency, safety, and reliability of transport networks. It integrates various systems like traffic sensors, cameras, and communication for real-time traffic information. "A proposal pertaining to this has been sent to the Union ministry of road transport and highways, and we expect approval soon. With this system being introduced, we aim to check for different traffic violations and the exact causes of congestion on these highways," a senior NHAI official in Pune told TOI.

"These cameras will have a range of 500m on all sides. In addition, modern cameras will be placed every 500m at gantries of the road. These AI-enabled cameras will be able to spot any violations and read the registration number of the vehicles involved, following which an e-challan will be generated automatically without any manual intervention," the official added. While the Pune-Nashik Highway is approximately 213km long, Pune-Satara Highway is around 141km long; the Pune-Solapur Highway is 246km in length. Another NHAI official said the new system is similar to the Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) on the Pune-Mumbai Expressway by Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation Limited (MSRDC).
