Initial jobless claims remain at low levels but are edging slightly higher
Initial claims rose 11,000 in the September 6 week to 315,000,
pulling up the 4-week average slightly to a 304,000 level that is 8,000
above the month-ago comparison. Data for continuing claims, which lag
by a week, showed a 9,000 rise in the August 30 week to 2.487 million.
But here, the 4-week average is trending slightly lower, down 15,000 in
the week to a 2.499 million level that is a new recovery low and 20,000
below the month-ago comparison
