The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits rose last week but stayed close to a seven-year low and pointed to ongoing healing in the labor market. Initial claims for state unemployment benefits rose 28,000 to 326,000 for the week ended May 17, the Labor Department said on Thursday. Thursday's data falls within the survey week for the employment report's gauge of hiring in the economy, and the four-week moving average of new jobless claims rose about 3 percent from the corresponding week in April. The Labor Department said there were no special factors affecting Thursday's data.
