U.S Jobless Claims Fell Last Week

Dow Jones03-19 20:40

By Jessica Coacci

U.S. jobless claims fell last week as employers held back from widespread layoffs.

The number of people who filed for unemployment benefits was 205,000 in the week through March 14, lower than the 213,000 reported a week earlier, the Labor Department said Thursday. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal were expecting to see 215,000 new claims.

Continuing claims, which scale with the total size of the unemployed population rose to 1.86 million in the week through March 7, versus 1.85 million a week earlier. The data on continuing claims lag the initial-claims data by a week.

The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady Wednesday and forecast the unemployment rate to remain steady at 4.4% in 2026, according to its latest projections. Composed jobless claims numbers suggest that despite lower job gains, companies are still retaining staff at stable levels.
