    US Jobless Claims Edges Up to 332,000 as Delta Variant Slows Economy’s Rebound

    The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits increased last week to 332,000, an indicator that worsening COVID infections might have slightly increased layoffs.

    • Applications for jobless assistance increased from 312,000 the week before. Jobless claims have dropped steadily for two months as many employers, struggling to fill jobs, have held onto their employees.
    • Jobless claims increased 4,000 in Louisiana, evidence that Hurricane Ida has led to widespread job losses in that state. 
    • The job market and the broader economy have been slowed in recent weeks by the delta variant, which has discouraged many Americans from travelling, staying in hotels and eating out.
    • Hiring in August declined in industries that require face-to-face contact with the public, notably restaurants, hotels, and retailers. Still, some jobs were added in other areas, and the unemployment rate actually declined to 5.2% from 5.4%.

    The steady decline in weekly applications for unemployment benefits matches with a scaling-back of assistance for jobless Americans.
