The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits dipped more than expected last week, pointing to strengthening labor market conditions.

The prior week's claims were revised to show 1,000 more applications received than previously reported. Economists had forecast first-time applications for jobless aid falling to 314,000 last week. So-called continuing claims have been trending lower, an indication that some long-term unemployed were finding work. The unemployment rate for people collecting unemployment benefits fell to 1.9% during the week ended June 7, the lowest since October 2007, from 2.0% the prior week. Manufacturing activity in the Philadelphia-region expanded at a faster rate than expected in June, easing concerns over the U.S. economic outlook, official data showed on Thursday.

The monthly decline may not alter the upbeat view of Britain’s economy, with the data showing three-month sales rose an annual 4.9%, the most in almost a decade.
