WASHINGTON, Nov 3 (Reuters) - The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits rose to near a three-month high last week, but remained below a level associated with a strong labor market.


Initial claims for state unemployment benefits increased 7,000 to a seasonally adjusted 265,000 for the week ended Oct. 29, the highest level since early August, the Labor Department said on Thursday. Claims for the prior week were unrevised.
