Source: Yahoo! Finance

“The number of Americans filing claims for unemployment benefits fell last week, supporting economists’ views that the labor market remained in a ‘slow-hire, slow-fire’ mode, despite a sharp slowdown in job growth in June. Initial claims for ‌state unemployment benefits slipped 2,000 to a seasonally adjusted 215,000 for the week ended July 4, the Labor Department said on ‌Thursday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast 218,000 claims for the latest week.” (07/09/26)
