The number of new jobless claims in the United States last week substantially passed economists’ expectations — a trend that was effectively driven by blue states alone.
A Department of Labor report showed that “in the week ending June 12, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 412,000, an increase of 37,000 from the previous week’s revised level.” The figure exceeded economists’ forecasts by nearly 15%.
