🇺🇸 US Jobless Claims Near Two-Year Low!
The American labor market has shown remarkable strength. According to the latest data, initial jobless claims for the week ending March 28, 2026, fell to 202,000 — significantly below the forecast of 212,000 and the lowest level in nearly two years.
This marks a drop of 9,000 from the previous week, while the four-week moving average also declined to 207,750. It clearly indicates that layoffs remain well under control as companies continue to hold onto their employees.
Experts are calling it a “low-hire, low-fire” phase — where firings are low but new hiring is also slow. Continuing claims edged up slightly to 1.84 million, suggesting the job market is stable yet somewhat tight.
Overall, this is a positive signal for the US economy. It’s also encouraging for inflation control and the Fed’s policy decisions. Does this mean the recession talk is finally over?
