However, Labor Department officials caution that the initial jobless statistic can be especially volatile in July/August, due to annual factory shut-downs to retool. Even so, the four-week moving average continues to trend higher, rising 1,250 to 456,000 — a trend that will have to reverse to give investors confidence that the economic recovery is strong enough to reduce the U.S.’s high 9.5% unemployment rate.

June’s Job Report: Bad, but Could Have Been Worse
