New weekly unemployment claims in Michigan increased last week compared with the week prior, the U.S. Department of Labor said Thursday.
New claims rose to 13,383 in the week ending April 3, up from 11,143 the week before, the labor department said.
Last year at this time, there were 388,554 new claims in Michigan.
U.S. unemployment claims rose to 744,000 last week, up 16,000 claims from 728,000 the week prior on a seasonally adjusted basis.
Daniel Zhao, a senior economist with the career site Glassdoor, called last week’s increase more of a blip and not a step in the wrong direction, pointing to the jobs report released last week that showed the U.S. economy gained 916,000 jobs last month.

“While initial claims need to fall much farther to return to even remotely ‘normal’ levels, at least there is movement in the right direction,” she said.
Still, new jobless claims are three times as high compared with 2019 levels of about 200,000 weekly claims.
Zhao said he expects claims will return to pre-pandemic levels as more people are vaccinated and restrictions on businesses are lifted.
New U.S. claims peaked in the pandemic about a year ago, with nearly 6.9 million claims in one week. Since then, claims have slowly fallen, hovering around 700,000 weekly for the past month as more states are loosening restrictions on restaurants, movie theaters and bowling alleys, among other businesses, and calling back workers.

But they rose again last week, muddying the picture of the US jobs recovery.
Another 744,000 American workers filed first-time claims for unemployment benefits on a seasonally adjusted basis, according to the Labor Department. It was an increase from the week before, but more notably, it was far more claims than economists had predicted.
Just two weeks ago, initial jobless claims dropped to 658,000, the lowest level since the pandemic hit American shores. But since then, the trend in the data has reversed course.
But there is some good news: Conditions are much better than they were a year ago, when more than 6 million workers filed for unemployment assistance. Last week's March jobs report also showed that the recovery is chugging along, with 916,000 jobs added to the economy.
