BlockBeats news, on January 2, the number of initial unemployment claims in the United States fell to an eight-month low last week, and the number of continuing unemployment claims also decreased to a three-month low of 1.844 million. This reflects that the scale of layoffs in the U.S. labor market is relatively small, and the labor market remains surprisingly resilient. Currently, the number of initial unemployment claims is low, consistent with pre-pandemic levels, and is also in line with the employment market, where companies are generally reluctant to lay off workers.
