Reuters is reporting:

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits slipped 5,000 to a seasonally adjusted 271,000 for the week ended November 14, 2015.

Last week's drop in claims was in line with economists' expectations.

The four-week moving average of claims, considered a better measure of labor market trends as it strips out week-to-week volatility, rose 3,000 to 270,750 last week, still close to a 42-year low.
