The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits
last week increased to the highest level since early September, but the
underlying trend continued to point to a strengthening labor market.
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits rose by 19,000 to a seasonally adjusted 316,000 for the week ended Jan. 10, the Labor Department said on Thursday.
Economists polled by Reuters had forecast claims falling to 291,000 last week. The prior week's data was revised to show 3,000 more claims received than previously reported.
