The number of Americans filing first-time claims for unemployment insurance rose modestly last week, the government said Thursday.

The figure still came in below analysts' expectations.

There were 434,000 initial jobless claims filed in the week ended Jan. 2, up 1,000 from the previous week's upwardly revised 433,000, the Labor Department said.

A consensus estimate of economists surveyed by Briefing.com expected claims to jump to 440,000.
