The Labor Department reported a sharp weekly rise of 25,000 new unemployment claims to 349,000 for the week ending November 27, holiday volatility noted. Continuing claims fell 20,000 to 2.72 million, the lowest since late April 2001, while Fed surveys and October payroll gains suggest ongoing labor market improvement and potential December rate hikes.
