The number of Americans filling for unemployment benefits was 0.709 million in the week ended November 6th, compared to 0.751 million in the previous week. Today’s reading came in below market expectations of 0.735 million. It is the fourth consecutive week with claims below 800k. However today’s reading still remains far above 665,000 filed at the peak of the Great Recession in March 2009.

Continuing claims reading, which lags initial jobless claims data by one week, reach 6.786 million, while analysts expected a drop to 6.9 million. Today’s reading still remain much above 1.7 million average reported before the pandemic.
