    US Jobless Claims +9K To 334K In Aug 25 Wk; Survey -2K

    By Elizabeth Price
    Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES


    WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--The number of U.S. workers filing new claims for jobless benefits jumped last week to the highest level since April, indicating slower growth in employment.

    Jobless claims rose 9,000 to 334,000 on a seasonally-adjusted basis in the week ended Aug. 25, the Labor Department said Thursday. Claims for the Aug. 18 week were revised to 325,000 from 322,000.

    Wall Street forecasts had called for 2,000 decline last week to 320,000, according to a Dow Jones Newswires survey.

    The four-week average - which economists use to gauge underlying labor market trends - rose 6,250 last week to 324,500. That's the fifth straight rise.

    Investors are closely watching U.S. labor markets amid worries over credit availability triggerd by problems in the mortgage market. As long as job growth remains strong, economists predict consumer spending will weather turbulence on Wall Street.

    Nonfarm payrolls expanded by just 92,000 last month and the unemployment rate ticked up, though it remains low by historical standards. Thursday's claims figures, suggest the underlying trend is not as strong it was earlier in the year.

    If labor markets and, in turn, consumption head lower it would intensify pressure on Federal Reserve officials to cut their main policy tool, the federal funds rate. Futures markets are pricing in multiple reductions in the fed funds rate starting next month to alleviate credit crunch worries and their potential economic effects. The Fed has already lowered the discount rate is charges banks that borrow directly from the Fed.

    According to the Labor Department report Thursday, continuing claims for workers drawing unemployment benefits for more than a week rose 13,000 to 2,579,000 in the week ended Aug. 18, the latest week for which such data are available. That's the highest level since mid April.

    The insured unemployment rate ticked up to 2.0% in the Aug. 18 week, from 1.9% in the prior week.

    There were 15 states and territories reporting an increase in initial jobless claims for the Aug. 18 week, while 38 reported a decrease.

    California had the biggest decrease, 3,983, thanks to fewer layoffs in transportation, communications, and public utilities industries. Michigan reported the sharpest increase, 3,254, due to layoffs in the automobile industries.

    8:30 AM ET, Aug 30, 2007 - By Rex Nutting - 1 minute ago
    WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The U.S. economy bounced back in the second quarter after very weak growth earlier in the year, growing at a 4% annual real growth rate, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. The upward revision to second-quarter gross domestic product is likely to have a minimal impact on financial markets, which are preoccupied by the credit crunch that's emerged since the end of June. The upward revision to GDP was largely due to an improved trade balance and to the biggest increase in investments in commercial buildings in 26 years. Growth was led by trade and business investment. Consumer spending, government spending and inventories also contributed to growth. Housing remained a strong drag on growth.
    10. U.S. 2Q core PCE price index revised down to 1.3% vs. 1.4%
