US jobless claims rise to 200,000 in week ending May 2
The US Labor Department reported that jobless claim applications rose by 10,000 to 200,000 in the week ending May 2, below the 205,000 anticipated by analysts. The previous week's figure of 189,000 was revised up by 1,000 to 190,000, marking the lowest level since 1969 before the revision. Weekly jobless claims remain historically low despite inflation and geopolitical uncertainty from the Iran conflict.
