New York’s initial jobless claims fall 5 percent in latest week

The number of people applying for new unemployment-insurance benefits in New York state in the week ending Dec. 28 fell by 1,210, or nearly 5 percent, to 23,782 from the week before.

Fewer layoffs in New York’s construction, health care and social assistance, and professional, scientific, and technical services industries led the decline, according to a U.S. Department of Labor news release issued today.

The Empire State’s decline in jobless claims came just one week after its claims had jumped by 3,284, or 15 percent.
