VERBATIM: The Labor Department reports jobless claim applications fell by 6,000 to 213,000 for the week of November 16. That’s fewer than the 220,000 analysts forecast. However, continuing claims went up by 36,000 to 1.91 million for the week of November 9. That was higher than expected and the most in three years.
