Last week, the number of first-time jobless claims in the US fell. As demand for employment and layoffs have eased, the number of applicants is still sluggish. According to data released by the US Department of Labor on Thursday, the number of first-time jobless claims dropped by 8,000 to 215,000 in the week ending May 18. This is the biggest drop since September last year. The previous week also saw a similar decline, with a median forecast of 220,000. In the week ending May 11, the number of people renewing their unemployment benefits was 1.79 million, with little change.
