Unemployment Claims Continue to Decline

​States reported that 213,000 workers filed for new unemployment benefits during the week ending Sept. 10, marking a fifth straight week of declines. The number of workers continuing to claim unemployment benefits—1.4 million—is below the pre-pandemic average of 1.7 million.
