ECONOMIC REPORT: Jobless claims fall sharply in latest week
By Greg Robb, MarketWatch
Last Update: 8:35 AM ET Dec. 1, 2005
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - First-time claims for state unemployment benefits fell sharply in the latest week, the Labor Department reported Thursday.
The number of initial claims fell 17,000 to 320,000 in the week ended Nov. 26.
The decline was larger than forecast. Economists had expected claims to fall to 323,000, according to a survey conducted by MarketWatch.
The government will release the November nonfarm payroll report on Friday. Economists are expecting a strong report, with about 224,000 jobs created in the month. One of the factors behind their optimism has been the low level of jobless claims over the past month.
Claims in the previous week were revised to an increase of 32,000 to 337,000 compared with the initial estimate of a rise of 30,000 to 335,000.
The four-week average of initial claims fell 1,250 to 322,500.
A Labor Department official said 7,000 claims in the latest week were related to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, bringing the total number of claims filed because of the two hurricanes to 562,000.
Hurricane Wilma had a smaller impact on the labor market, with only 2,600 claims filed in the latest week, bringing the total to 30,000.
Meanwhile, the number of Americans receiving state jobless benefits fell 24,000 to 2.77 million in the week ending Nov. 19.
The four-week moving average of continuing claims fell 7,000 to 2.78 million, the lowest since the week ended September 24.
The insured unemployment rate remained steady at 2.2% in the week ended Nov. 19.
ECONOMIC REPORT: U.S. incomes, spending rise modestly; Core inflation trend falls to lowest in nearly two years
By Rex Nutting, MarketWatch
Last Update: 8:53 AM ET Dec. 1, 2005
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - U.S. personal incomes and spending rose modestly in October while inflationary pressures eased, the Commerce Department estimated Thursday.
Personal incomes increased 0.4% in October, as expected, after a 1.7% gain in September that was skewed by the impact of Hurricane Katrina.
Nominal spending increased 0.2% in October, as expected by the survey of economists conducted by MarketWatch.
Real (inflation-adjusted) spending increased 0.1% in October, the first increase in three months. Real spending had declined 0.4% in September. .
Consumer prices rose 0.1% in October after soaring 0.9% in September. Prices have risen 3.3% in the past year, compared with a 3.7% rate in September.
The core personal consumption expenditure price index increased 0.1% in October, bringing the year-over-year increase down to 1.8% from 2% in September. It's the smallest year-over-year gain since February 2004.
Fed officials have said they want core inflation to remain between 1% and 2%.
In a separate report, the Labor Department said initial claims for unemployment benefits fell 17,000 to 320,000 last week. See full story.
Even with inflationary pressures moderating, the Federal Reserve is likely to bank at least a couple more interest rate hikes in the next few months as insurance against a breakout of inflation, economists say.
The Fed's policy committee will meet on Dec. 13 to consider a 13th consecutive quarter-percentage point increase in the federal funds target rate to 4.25%.
Incomes from wages and salaries increased 0.6% in October, the biggest gain in three months. Proprietors' income fell 0.2% after soaring 4.8% in September. Income from assets rose 0.6%, including a 1% rise in income from dividends.
Real spending on durable goods fell 2.5% in October, the third straight decline. Spending on nondurable goods increased 1.1%, while spending on services increased 0.1%.
Disposable incomes (after taxes) increased 0.3% in October. After adjusting for inflation, disposable incomes rose 0.2%. In the past year, real disposable incomes are up 0.9%.
With incomes rising faster than spending, the personal savings rate improved to negative 0.7% from negative 0.8%. The record low was in August at negative 2.2%. The savings rate has been negative for six of the past seven months.
