US initial jobless claims fall to 187,000, lowest since 1969

financeJul 23, 202624104

Bloomberg reported that first-time applications for US unemployment benefits fell by 22,000 to 187,000 in the week ended July 18, the lowest weekly level since 1969. The Labor Department release beat the Bloomberg survey median forecast of 210,000 applications. The decline signals layoffs remain muted and points to a stable labor market. The drop to 187,000 continues a pattern of unusually low weekly claims that market participants watch for signs of labor strength.

Hey, used to be able to believe the data Not any more Would anyone be interested in hearing about US casuslties in the Iran War? If they’re willing to lie about that, they’ll certainly lie about some piddly- ass jobs numbers

Who is collecting the numbers and will they be revised in coming months to opposite kind of result?

🚨Initial jobless claims fell to 187k: lowest since September 1969. ⚠️Seems like it's more noise than signal with @econberger.bsky.social pointing to a potential seasonal adjustment issue. 📈Overall, stable labor market conditions, & more reason for Fed policymakers to focus on inflation
