On November 26, against the backdrop of continued economic uncertainty in the United States, the number of Americans filing initial jobless claims last week unexpectedly fell to its lowest level since mid-April, remaining at a relatively low level.

In the week ending November 22, initial jobless claims fell by 6,000 to 216,000, below the median forecast of 225,000 in an economist survey.

Recent surveys show that Americans are increasingly concerned about the labor market. The consumer confidence index in November fell by the largest margin in seven months, partly due to more pessimistic expectations about finding a job.

Federal Reserve officials have lowered interest rates at their last two policy meetings, focusing on supporting the slowing labor market. But policymakers are divided on whether to support another rate cut at their last meeting of the year in December as they try to strike a balance between a weak labor market and stubbornly high inflation.

Wu Shuo Daily Highlights Crypto News - The number of initial jobless claims in the United States for the week ending November 22 was 216,000, the lowest since the week of April 12.

On November 26, the U.S. released weekly initial jobless claims data, which fell, indicating that the number of unemployed people remains low, although the labor market is struggling to create enough jobs for the unemployed amid lingering economic uncertainty.

The data released on Wednesday showed that initial jobless claims fell by 6,000 to 216,000, seasonally adjusted, for the week ending November 22. Economists had previously expected initial jobless claims to be 225,000 for the past week. The report was released a day early due to the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday.

Economists say President Trump's aggressive trade and immigration policies have created an environment in which businesses are reluctant to lay off or hire more workers, leading to what they and policymakers call a "no-hire, no-fire" labor market. But some businesses, including Amazon, are stepping up layoffs as they integrate artificial intelligence into some jobs. Economists expect these layoffs to be reflected in next year's initial jobless claims data, although the number of people claiming unemployment benefits in the past has not always increased with announced layoffs.
