Unemployment Claims Hit 3-Year Low, Fed Faces Tough Decisions
Update: 2025-12-05
Description
Unemployment claims in the US hit a 3-year low, with 191,000 Americans filing for jobless aid, down from 218,000 the previous week. This positive trend could complicate the Federal Reserves decision on interest rates. Despite recent job cuts by big companies, the four-week average for claims also fell, indicating a consistent job market trend. The total number of Americans receiving jobless benefits also decreased to just under 2 million.
