According to data released by the U.S. Department of Labor on Thursday, the number of people applying for initial unemployment benefits in the United States fell to the lowest level since November last year. With the end of the Christmas and New Year season, the number of people applying for initial unemployment benefits decreased by 9,000 in the week of January 4-10, dropping to 198,000. In recent years, the number of people applying for initial unemployment benefits has rarely fallen below 200,000. The data released on Thursday indicates that there has been no significant acceleration in layoffs at the beginning of this year, although these figures may still be affected by seasonal fluctuations related to holidays.
