Jobless claims unexpectedly decreased to the lowest
level since 1973, indicating the U.S. labor market remains a pillar of support

New applications for unemployment benefits fell by
6,000 to 247,000 in the week ended April 16, data from the Labor Department
showed Thursday. The median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg called
for 265,000 claims. The number of Americans already on benefit rolls declined
to a more than 15-year low.
