Last weeks claims #: 250,750
4-Week Average of Claims: 243,812.50
Prior Weeks 4-Week Average: 237,375
Comments: Weekly claims rose to 250,750 this week. That number caused the 4-week average to jump up to 243,812.50. For the 4-week average to
continue to rise, we would need to see next weeks weekly number come in at 245,000 or higher. Much more of a rise in the 4-week number will start to catch investors and analysts attention.
