Analysts on average expected an increase to 220 thousand, based on previous data. The average number of applications for benefits over the past four weeks (a more stable indicator) increased to 220.25 thousand, from a revised 212.5 thousand in the previous week. The number of people who continue to receive unemployment benefits for the week ended November 4 increased to 1.865 million, compared with a revised 1.833 million a week earlier.
