WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- First-time applications for state unemployment benefits dropped by 8,000 to 295,000 in the week ending June 10, the Labor Department said Thursday.
It's the lowest level of seasonally adjusted new claims since mid-February. Initial claims have fallen by 42,000 in the past two weeks.
The four-week average of new claims dropped by 12,250 to 315,750, the lowest in six weeks. The four-week average is considered a more reliable gauge of the labor market's strength.
Economists had expected claims to rise to about 321,000, according to the MarketWatch survey.
Meanwhile, the number of people collecting unemployment checks climbed by 15,000 to 2.425 million in the week ending June 3. It's the highest level of continuing claims in six weeks.
The four-week average of continuing claims rose by 10,750 to 2.42 million.
The insured unemployment rate -- the percentage of those eligible for benefits who are collecting -- remained at 1.9%.
In the past year, initial claims are down about 6% while continuing claims are down about 7%.
In a separate report, the New York Federal Reserve Bank said its Empire state index of manufacturers increased to 29.0 in June from a revised 12.9 in May, well ahead of expectations.
The two reports, which signaled a strong economy, pushed Treasury yields higher. The dollar strengthened. Stock futures pointed to a higher opening.
Initial jobless claims had spiked higher in May as thousands of government workers in Puerto Rico were locked out of work. But the increase in new claims persisted beyond the government shut-down crisis, leaving some analysts to wonder if the labor market were weakening.
Nonfarm payrolls rose a slight 75,000 in May, adding to the concerns about tepid payroll growth. However, continuing strong hiring has been seen in other labor market indicators, including a bullish report on labor markets in the Beige Book released Wednesday.
The decline in new claims is further evidence that the labor market is not weakening significantly. However, the number of continuing claims is no longer falling, perhaps an indication that the pace of hiring is softening.
Initial claims represent job destruction, while the level of continuing claims indicates how hard or easy it is for displaced workers to find new jobs.
The Federal Reserve is locked in a struggle to restrain inflation without crushing the economy. A modest slowdown in economic activity, including employment, would be welcomed by the Fed.
The Federal Open Market Committee is expected to raise its overnight lending rate to 5.25% on June 29.

ECONOMIC REPORT: Factory activity surges in New York in June; Empire State Index soars to 29.0, well above expectations

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Manufacturing activity in the New York area surged unexpectedly in June, the New York Federal Reserve Bank said Thursday.
The banks' Empire State Manufacturing index rose to 29.0 points in June from a revised 12.9 in May. The index had moderated over the past two months.
The rise was well above expectations. Economists had forecast the Empire State index would basically hold steady at 12.5 in June from the initial estimate of 12.4 in May.
Readings over zero indicate expansion.
The Empire State index is of interest to traders primarily because it's seen as an early forecast of the national Institute for Supply management survey due out in two weeks. In May, the ISM factory gauge fell to 54.4%, its lowest level since August.
New orders jumped to 25.8 points in June from 16.2 in May.
The indexes for shipments and unfilled orders also jumped higher.
Inflation indexes strengthened.
The prices-paid index rose to 52.9 points in June from 43.1 in May.
Despite the increased activity, the factory job market weakened for the third straight month, with the employee index falling to 5.1 points in June from 9.7 in May. The average workweek index rose to 11.3 points from 9.4.
The index of activity in the next six months showed continued optimism. The future general business condition index rose to 33.7 in June from 30.2 in May.
Inflation expectations also rose in June to 62.5 from 59.4 in the previous month.
