TechFlow News: On February 12, according to JIN10 Data, the U.S. Department of Labor reported that, for the week ending February 7, seasonally adjusted initial jobless claims across states declined by 5,000 to 227,000—slightly above the market expectation of 222,000. This decline only offset a small portion of the sharp increase observed in the prior week, which was attributed to widespread snowstorms and extreme cold weather across the United States, as well as normalization adjustments following seasonal fluctuations from late 2025 to early 2026. Although job growth accelerated in January and the unemployment rate edged down from 4.4% in December to 4.3%, economists continue to characterize the labor market as “low hiring, low layoffs.” The report also showed that, for the week ending January 31, seasonally adjusted continuing claims rose by 21,000 to 1.862 million—a figure similarly affected by seasonal volatility. While the number of long-term unemployed individuals declined in January, the median duration of unemployment remains near levels seen four years ago. Employment prospects for recent graduates remain challenging.
