The Zhitong Finance App learned that data released by the US Department of Labor on Thursday showed that in the week ending August 15, the number of initial jobless claims in the US fell by 6,000 to 206,000, lower than economists' expectations of 210,000. Meanwhile, the previous week's data was revised up to 212,000 people. This data further confirms that the US labor market remained quite resilient after the unexpected weakening of non-farm payrolls data in July.
