    US Weekly Jobless Claims Unexpectedly Jumped 23,000 to 248,000

    The number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits unexpectedly jumped last week but remained at levels linked with tightening labor market conditions.

    • Initial claims for state unemployment benefits rose 23,000 to hit a seasonally adjusted 248,000 for the week ended February 12. Economists surveyed by Reuters had projected 219,000 applications for the latest week.
    • Claims had been falling since rising to hit a three-month high in mid-January as Covid-19 cases, driven by the Omicron variant, struck the country. 
    • There is a massive shortage of workers, with close to a record of 10.9 million job vacancies at the close of December. This situation has left firms holding onto their workers, driving claims below their pre-pandemic levels.

    Meanwhile, the report indicated that the less volatile four-week moving average dropped to 243,250, a decrease of 10,500 from the prior week’s revised average of 253,750.
