2025.12.1113:37:15UTC+00US Initial Claims Rise More than Anticipated

In the week ending December 6, 2025, initial jobless claims in the United States rose by 44,000 to reach 236,000, disrupting a trend of declining claims over the previous four weeks and exceeding market forecasts of 220,000. This significant weekly increase is the largest recorded since March 2020, and comes on the heels of the Thanksgiving holiday week, during which claims had dropped to their lowest level in over three years. Jobless claims typically exhibit heightened volatility around the holiday season, a pattern expected to continue through the end of the year. Meanwhile, for the week ending November 29, 2025, continuing claims fell to 1,838,000, the lowest since April 12, 2025, down from a revised figure of 1,937,000 for the previous week, and significantly better than the anticipated 1,950,000.
