The number of people filing first-time applications for unemployment benefits in New York state rose nearly 17 percent to 14,904 in the week ending Oct. 8 from 12,762 the week before.
That’s according to a news release issued Thursday by the U.S. Department of Labor, citing advanced data provided by the state. The data is not seasonally adjusted and is subject to revision.
The rise in initial jobless claims in the Empire State comes after claims in the state had fallen to 16-year lows.
