Usa, request for subsidies on the rise: 34 thousand more, and only 15 thousand were expected

US subsidy applications hit a record low that hasn't occurred since April 2011, with 34 more units, but an increase of "only" 15 more was expected - This increases the likelihood that the Fed will intervene to stimulate the economy.

Usa, request for subsidies on the rise: 34 thousand more, and only 15 thousand were expected

There are 34 Americans who have applied for the subsidy for the first time. It is further evidence that the US job market remains shaky. The U.S. Department of Labor reported this data for last week. Requests grew by 34 units to 365 units.

Usually the decrease in benefits coincides with new jobs, and if the number is that "low", it means a necessary investment by the Fed to stimulate the US economy. The previous week's figure was up 2 (from 350 to 352 people). The average of the four weeks actually dropped by 1500 units to 375 items.

However, the overall number for workers receiving unemployment benefits for more than a week (for the week of July 7) rose by 3.314 to XNUMX people who were unemployed. The unemployment rate for workers with insurance remained unchanged at 2,6%.
