<p>WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. applications for unemployment benefits fell last week, remaining in the historically healthy range of the past couple years.</p>
<p>The Labor Department reported Thursday that jobless claims for the week ending July 5 fell by 5,000 to 227,000, fewer than the 238,000 that analysts forecast. Applications for unemployment aid are viewed as representative of layoffs.</p>
<p>The four-week average of claims, which evens out some of the weekly volatility, fell by 5,750 to 235,500.</p>
<p>The total number of Americans collecting unemployment benefits for the week of June 28 rose by 10,000 to 1.97 million. That's the most since November of 2021.</p>
