Market Consensus before announcement
Initial jobless claims were little changed, down 2,000 in the January 11 week to 326,000. This was the first report in two months that was not heavily skewed by special factors or shortened holiday weeks, and the results point to steady conditions in the labor market. The 4-week average was at 335,000, which was nearly 10,000 below the month-ago trend and which points to moderate improvement from December. Continuing claims showed a spike but, reported with a one week lag, were clouded by the New Year's holiday. Continuing claims for the January 4 week jumped 174,000 to 3.030 million which was the first 3 million reading since July.
