Jobless claims drop to 336000 in week ending July 31

The Labor Department reports new unemployment benefits fell by 11 000 to 336 000 for the week ending July 31, the lowest in early July and slightly above some forecasts. Analysts note short term volatility tied to auto plant shutdowns but see a improving long term trend from 399 000 a year earlier. Analysts also cite weak July retail sales, especially mall chains like Gap, due to higher gas prices and cautious spending.
