That was the lowest since mid-March 2020, when mandatory closures of nonessential businesses were enforced to slow the first wave of coronavirus infections.\nEconomists polled by Reuters had forecast 390,000 applications for the latest week.\nAnother report on Thursday from global outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas showed that while job cuts announced by U.S.-based employers rose 7% last month to 24,586, layoffs were down 93.8% from May 2020. Employers have announced 192,185 layoffs in the first five months of this year, down 86% compared to the same period in 2020.\nThe COVID-19 pandemic is subsiding because of vaccinations, allowing authorities to lift restrictions on businesses and accelerating the economy's reopening. That has led to a surge in demand that is pushing against supply constraints.\nBusinesses across all industries and regions are reporting difficulties finding workers.\nThe Federal Reserve's \"Beige Book\" report of anecdotal information on business activity collected from contacts nationwide showed on Wednesday that \"it remained difficult for many firms to hire new workers, especially low-wage hourly workers, truck drivers, and skilled tradespeople.\"\nAn Institute for Supply Management manufacturing survey on Tuesday also highlighted the shortages of labor and parts, which it said were causing short-term shutdowns.\nWorkers are scarce despite nearly 10 million Americans being officially unemployed. Generous unemployment benefits funded by the government, problems with child care and fears of contracting the virus, even with vaccines widely accessible, as well as pandemic-related retirements have been blamed for keeping workers home.\nInitial claims have dropped from a record 6.149 million in early April 2020. They, however, remain well above the 200,000 to 250,000 range that is viewed as consistent with healthy labor market conditions.\nThey could decline further as Republican governors in at least 24 states, including Florida and Texas, are cutting off unemployment programs funded by the federal government for residents starting next Saturday.\nThese states account for more than 40% of the workforce. The benefits being terminated early include a weekly $300 unemployment subsidy, which businesses say is discouraging the jobless from seeking work.\nLast week's claims report has no bearing on May's employment report scheduled for release on Friday as it falls outside the period during which the government surveyed businesses and households for the nonfarm payrolls data and unemployment rate.\nAccording to a Reuters survey of economists, payrolls likely increased by 650,000 jobs last month after rising only 266,000 in April. But worker shortages could again limit hiring in May. The jobless rate is forecast falling to 5.9% from 6.1% in April.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":116813869,"gmtCreate":1622787086051,"gmtModify":1704191197358,"author":{"id":"3577490745225196","authorId":"3577490745225196","name":"Mingling8885","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/096e6787370cd32f0db7635ff8044468","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3577490745225196","authorIdStr":"3577490745225196"},"htmlText":"Positive
