Antalet nya arbetssökande i USA uppgick till 601.000
vecka 23, ned med 24.000 jämfört med en reviderad notering under
veckan innan vid 625.000 (621.000).
Det uppgav det amerikanska arbetsmarknadsdepartementet på
torsdagen.
Statistiken är säsongsjusterad. Marknaden spådde att antalet
nya arbetssökande skulle uppgå till 615.000.
Statistiken avser antalet personer som för första gången
ansöker om arbetslöshetsunderstöd.
En låg siffra anses negativt för räntemarknaden då få
arbetssökande ökar inflationstrycket från arbetsmarknaden.
Fyraveckorsgenomsnittet sjönk med 10.500 personer till
621.750.
Antalet återkommande sökande av arbetslöshetsstöd steg med
59.000 personer till 6.816.000.

WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- U.S. retail sales rose during May, posting the
third increase in five months, but much of the gain was due to gasoline station
receipts given a boost by higher prices.

The 0.5 increase in retail sales reported Thursday by the Commerce
Department was smaller than expected. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones
Newswires forecast a 0.6 increase.

Several categories of retailers tumbled last month. The increases tended to
be among sellers of essential items, such as food and clothes.

Filling station sales rose 3.6. Excluding gasoline sales, other retailers
sales increased 0.2. Gas prices have gone up about 28 in the past six weeks,
driving station receipts.

Overall retail sales in April were revised higher, decreasing 0.2 instead of
0.4 as previously reported. March sales fell 1.2 instead of 1.3.

Sales rose 1.7 in January and 0.4 in February, following six straight
declines.

Aid from the Obama administration meant to lift the slumping economy might
have helped sales in May. Government data last week showed the stimulus plan
helped boost the income of Americans 0.5 in April. Consumers, however, cut
their spending and increased saving, the income data showed. A lousy job market
and tight credit are hurting retail. A Federal Reserve survey of bank loan
officers issued a month ago showed bigger fractions of domestic lenders
reported tighter standards for both credit card loans and other consumer loans.

Housing-sector sales were mixed in May, with furniture retailers down 0.4
and building material and garden supplies dealers rising 1.3.

Auto and parts retail sales increased 0.5. Excluding autos, all other sales
rose 0.5 - above the 0.4 climb expected by economists. Auto sales fell 0.4
in April and ex-auto sales that month were down 0.2.

Excluding auto sales and gas station sales, all other retailers saw sales
rise 0.1 in May.

Sales last month increased 0.4 at clothing stores; 0.4 at food and beverage
stores; 0.1 at eating and drinking places; and 0.7 at health and personal
care stores.

Sales decreased 0.5 at electronic stores; 0.2 at general merchandise
stores; 0.4 at mail order and Internet retailers; and 0.8 at sporting goods,
hobby, book and music stores.
