New weekly jobless claims unexpectedly rose by 13,000 to 861,000 in the week that ended February 13, the Department of Labor said Thursday.
Economists had expected claims to fall to 768,00 from the 793,000 initially reported for the prior week. The previous week’s figure was revised up by 55,000 to 848,000.
Jobless claims can be volatile week to week so economists like to look at the four-week average. This fell to 833,250, 3,500 below the prior week’s average.

Under creepy Joe Biden and the leftist Democrats they want to bankrupt the country to take power.
What did they “expect “ when Uncle Joe, on day one killed all those good paying union jobs?
... to the surprise of absolutely no one who has a triple digit IQ.
stock market down, unemployment up - and democrats are in charge, big shocker.
Ugh. Four more years of “Unexpectedly” for every bad economic report.
“unexpectedly” LOL
Ah, we’re back to averaging!
We’re back to “always find the positive” asterisk in our MSM reports too.
Life is so much happier under Democrat rule isn’t it? /s
I have asked many a liberal the following:
So you say Republicans are the party of the rich and Democrats are the party of the poor. We both agree politicians want to get re-elected. So doesn’t it make sense Republicans want more rich and Democrats want more poor?
Never gotten a coherent response.
Democrat leadership at it’s finest.
I own a small biz. It’s been shut down since March. After I suck every dime of unemployment out of them I’m shutting it down for good. Screw them.
Why we continue to elect people to positions that run the largest business in the US who have zero experience managing anything is beyond me. Anyone who voted for Biden is going to see just how inept he really is. I think the only job he’s ever had outside of politics was as a hair-sniffer for L’oreal.
Jobs will be shed like my skin in the Summer, since 0Biden has been selected.
Lucky for us that jerk Biden and his team of thugs are speeding up the process for more ‘migrants’ and illegals to flood into our country.
This is the perfect time for white liberal elites to rough up the working people again. Eff you biden, AOC, Bernie and CommaLa... do YOU really have to make it harder for us?
I think Biden does the opposite of everything President Trump does out of Spite.
Their transparent agenda has priorities.
Biden’s fault!
The stock markets are so divorced from reality.
The word “revision” will become very popular in SwMp lexicon again.
