US-ECONOMY-UNEMPLOYMENT-FILES
(FILES) - File picture taken September 2, 2010 shows a jobs sign on the front of the US Chamber of Commerce building in Washington, DC. New claims for US unemployment insurance benefits tumbled to an eight-year low last week, pointing to a firming labor market, according to official data released July 24, 2014. Initial jobless claims, a sign of the pace of layoffs, totaled 284,000 in the week ending July 19, down 19,000 from the prior week, the Labor Department said. That was the lowest level of initial claims since mid-February 2006. The report gave further evidence of improvement in the labor market amid steady job growth that pushed the unemployment rate down to 6.1 percent in June, from 7.5 percent a year earlier.
