Initial jobless claims in regular state programs declined by 19,000 to 787,000 in the wk ended 26 December according to a Labor Department report Thursday. That was less than the 835,000 median estimate in a survey of economists, claims dropped by 31,736.

Continuing claims for state programs, which correlates to the total number of people receiving state unemployment benefits fell to 5.22-M in the wk ended 19 December Economists projected an increase to 5.37-M.

The decline in claims is a welcome sign, though the level remains elevated as economic fallout from The China Virus chaos continues.

While the aid/relief/stimulus package should cushion the blow of further shutdowns and closures.
