Unemployment Claims Dip Near Pre Recession Levels
The Labor Department reported unemployment claims for workers insured for benefits fell to 1,392,000 for the week ended May 30, a drop of 57,590. Compared with the pre recession week ending June 1, 1957 the figure shows improvement, with most states reporting declines except Connecticut and Oklahoma. Initial claims by newly laid off workers rose 15,200 to 211,300 for the week ended June 6, mainly due to seasonal lulls in apparel and food processing. Despite the rise, initial claims remain below 1958 and 1957 levels for similar weeks.
