Unemployment claims in New York fell to 15,201 for the week ending December 28, down from 15,616 the previous week, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. This drop aligns with a national trend, where claims decreased by 9,000 to 211,000.
Delaware experienced the largest percentage increase in claims, surging by 120.6%, while the Virgin Islands saw the steepest decline at 70%.
New York’s modest improvement reflects broader stability in the national labor market as the year ends.
