Initial Jobless Claims indicator rose during last week, as the number of american citizens in search for a job increased. This could be interpreted as continuing uncertainty about the recovery of US labour market.

Claims rose to 360 000 during last week, from the revised number of 328 000 during the previous period. Experts estimated number of claims to reach 330 000. This turned out to be the strongest weekly increase since November 2012. Current data spoke of an increase in layoffs from work, which had decreased to almost 5 year low during last two weeks.

It was reported that some federal agencies forced their employees to take an unpaid leave, due to initiated budget reduction.
