U.S. Initial Jobless Population Surges to Past Forecasts, Raising Concerns for the Labor Market and Federal Policy

U.S. jobless population soars to 263,000 in the week ending September 06, the highest since 2021 and previous forecasts, signaling economic downfall after August’s weak 22,000 job gain. The four-week average also climbed to 240,500, pointing to broader labor market weakness.

Texas leads the jobless market population with 15,304 new claims, followed by Michigan with 2,980, while continuing claims stayed at 1.94 million. With the upcoming Federal meeting, pressure mounts for salary cuts as job growth decreases, even as inflation rises 0.3% in August.
