[Asia Economy Reporter Ki Ha-young] The U.S. Department of Labor announced on the 10th (local time) that the number of new unemployment benefit claims last week (May 30 to June 5) was recorded at 376,000.



This is 9,000 fewer than the previous week, marking the sixth consecutive week of decline. It is the lowest level since the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this number of claims was slightly higher than the expert forecast of 370,000 compiled by Bloomberg News.
