... according to the u-s labor department... another 837- thousand americans filed for initial unemployment claims last week.

That was down slightly from the prior week.

However.... those figures do not include updated numbers from california.

The state paused processing initial claims for two weeks... so the labor department had to estimate california's numbers.

In kentucky.... 7,254 new claims were filed... down by 11- hundred from the week before.

As for continued claims... that number stood at eleven-point-eight million in the u-s.

That's down by 980- thousand.

In kentucky... there were 113,140 continued claims filed... down by almost 6,000.
