U.S jobless claims totaled 847,000 for the week ending January 23, to remain below the expected 875,000, according to the Department of Labor press release. The jobless claims were a decline of 67,000 from the previous week.

  • Continuing claims fell by 203,000 to a new pandemic-era low of 4.77 million, below the expected 5.05 million. 
  • The total Americans receiving employment benefits jumped by 2.29 million from the previous week to 18.28 million.
