Las peticiones iniciales de desempleo subieron ligeramente por encima de lo previsto al aumentar hasta los 608.000 parados, algo más que los 604.000 previstos. Pese a superar las expectativas, este incremento es menor que el registrado la semana anterior cuando las peticiones subieron en 610.000 solicitantes. Los reclamos continuos se situaron en 6.687.000 peticiones, más de los previsto.
