Forecasters expect initial claims to remain subdued in tomorrow morning\u2019s Department of Labor report, underscoring the stability of employment at a time of slow hiring and elevated risks. A number around 210k <\/a>is projected against the backdrop of the last five prints hovering in a narrow range between 205k and 214k. Indeed, there is a 53% chance of a result ahead of 210k while there are 45% odds of a figure failing to exceed that threshold. Looking under and over, meanwhile, the likelihoods of a statistic that comes in at 200k or beneath or north of 220k stand at 13% and 9%. A separate look at the weekly Reuters poll indicates a median estimate of 210k across the 37 economic prognosticators, alongside minimum and maximum values of 205k and 215k.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
