Weekly Jobless Claims Below Expectations

By Zacks Investment Research April 16, 2026 Bullish
Weekly Jobless Claims Below Expectations
Initial Jobless Claims once again came in lower than expected for last week: +207K. This follows a downwardly revised +218K the previous week, and is now back down to jobless claims levels not seen since January of 2024. Pre-Covid, we were hitting 50-year lows, but post-Covid, this is almost as low as we've gotten.
