Initial jobless claims fell 6,000 last week, the second straight decline, the Labor Department said Thursday.
Claims dropped to 462,000, about in line with economists’ forecasts, Bloomberg reported.
The four-week moving average of claims, a less volatile measure, rose to 475,500 for the week ended Saturday.
Continuing jobless claims for the previous week ended Feb. 27 rose 37,000 to 4.56 million, Labor said.
