The labor market rebounded in the first week of December as the number of jobless claims plummetted.
The number of Americans applying for state unemployment benefits fell to 206,000. Economists had forecast around 225,000.
Initial jobless claims have been climbing higher from historically low levels for several weeks. The latest numbers market a turnaround of that trend or at least a pause, with the numbers dropping far below the basically unchanged forecast.
