By Hannah Lang The number of workers seeking unemployment benefits fell for the third straight week, a sign that layoffs have started to ease following an increase in early January. Initial weekly unemployment claims declined to 779,000 last week, the Labor Department said Thursday, following a revised 812,000 claims the prior week. The recent easing in weekly jobless claims a proxy for layoffs pointed to a stabilization in the number of workers applying for benefits, though the total remained at a higher weekly level than before a winter surge in coronavirus cases.
