Breaking news: U.S. jobless claims are ticking up. For the week ending January 18, 2025, claims rose by 6,000, bringing the total to 223,000. What’s more, the number of Americans receiving unemployment benefits has climbed to 1.9 million, marking the highest level in over three years.

Quick Stats:

- Continuing Claims: Up to 1.9 million, highest since November 2021

- Four-Week Average: Edged up by 750 to 213,500

This increase could hint at some bumps in the job market. Initial claims are still close to pre-pandemic levels, but the rise in continuing claims suggests a growing challenge in job hunting.
