NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - New jobless claims in the United States rose last week, the government said Thursday, climbing even higher above a benchmark reading that points to a weak labor market.
The Labor Department said the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits rose to 455,000 in the week ended April 19 from a revised 447,000 the prior week. Economists, on average, expected 425,000 new claims, according to a Reuters poll.
