Jobless claims drop to 787,000 as layoffs remain extremely high to end the year Print this article
The number of new applications for unemployment benefits last week dropped 19,000 to 787,000, the Labor Department reported Thursday, as the year ends with signs that layoffs remain extremely high by historical standards.
Economists had projected that there would be 833,000 new jobless claims.
Claims are running at about four times the pre-pandemic rate. The total number of claims for benefits in all programs for the week ending Dec. 12 was more than 19.5 million. For the comparable week in 2019, there were roughly 1.8 million claims.
“A year to forget will be anything but for the 19.5 million Americans collecting some form of unemployment compensation as of mid-December,” said Greg McBride, Bankrate’s chief financial analyst.
