The number of Americans filing new unemployment claims decreased to 293,000 last week as companies are holding onto workers amind high demand for labor.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics figure released Thursday shows a 36,000 claim decrease in the number of new jobless claims compared to the week ending Oct. 2, when 326,000 jobless claims were reported.
Jobless claims were expected to drop to just 318,000, according to CNBC, as experts pointed to companies keeping workers to fill positions amid increasing demand.
“Employers are trying to figure out how to attract job seekers, and it’s challenging,” AnnElizabeth Konkel, an economist at Indeed, told The Wall Street Journal .
This week’s jobless claim number may be a sign that the jobs market is slowly returning to its pre-pandemic norm, according to CNBC. The four-week moving average of jobless claims dropped by over 10,000, its lowest since March 14, 2020, according to the report.
The U.S. economy recorded an increase of 194,000 jobs in September, and the unemployment rate fell to 4.8%, the Department of Labor announced Friday.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
