The consensus forecast of Wall Street economists was for claims to inch lower by 3,000 to 310,000. The four-week average of initial claims fell 2,250 to 305,250. This is the lowest level since the week ended Feb. 25. "Though the data may have been impacted a bit by Easter, the trend in claims is nevertheless consistent with another healthy employment report for March," said research firm Action Economics.
