WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The number of U.S. workers filing new claims for jobless benefits unexpectedly fell 21,000 last week, government data showed on Thursday, and a less volatile unemployment claims gauge dipped to an eight-month low.

Initial claims for state unemployment insurance declined to a seasonally adjusted 530,000 in the week ending September 19 from a revised 551,000 in the previous week. Analysts polled by Reuters were expecting claims to rise to 550,000 from a previously reported 545,000.

The four-week moving average of new claims dipped to 553,500, the lowest since 547,000 in the week ending January 24.

5. Disruptors? These "Jobless claims are lower" are always bullshit in my opinion

Where are those of us who haven't been able to work for years in these numbers. How about some data on "still unemployed but not being counted because we can't file for benefits?"
