Weekly jobless claims rise to highest since January
Washington AP reports new unemployment claims for the week ending June 5 rose to 323,000, up 14,000 from the prior week, the highest since the week of January 9. The four week moving average climbed to 308,250. Analysts say Memorial Day timing and holiday effects make the rise soft and not a signal for Fed rate moves.
