U.S. Weekly Jobless Claims Edge Up To 333,000, Below Estimates First-time claims for U.S. unemployment benefits showed a modest increase in the week ended August 3rd, according to a report released by the Labor Department on Thursday, although claims still came in below economist estimates. The report showed that initial jobless claims edged up to 333,000, an increase of 5,000 from the previous weeks revised figure of 328,000. Economists had expected jobless claims to climb to 336,000 from the 326,000 originally reported for the previous week. While the upward revision lifted the figure for the previous week off a five-year low, the revised figure still reflects the lowest since a matching number in the week ended May 4th.
