More Americans applied for jobless aid last week, but the total number of Americans collecting unemployment benefits is at a 53-year low.
Applications for unemployment benefits rose by 21,000 to 218,000 for the week ending May 14, the United States Department of Labor reported Thursday. First-time applications generally track the number of layoffs.
The four-week average for claims, which smooths out some of the weekly volatility, rose 8,250 from the previous week to 199,500.
