Applications for US jobless benefits tick up slightly

The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits last week ticked up modestly after falling to the lowest level in seven months the week before

The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits last week ticked up modestly after falling to the lowest level in seven months the week before.

U.S. applications for jobless claims rose by 3,000 to 220,000 for the week ending Sept. 9, the Labor Department reported Thursday.

Jobless claim applications are seen as representative of the number of layoffs in a given week.

The four-week moving average of claims, a less volatile measure, fell by 5,000 to 224,500.

Overall, 1.69 million people were collecting unemployment benefits the week that ended Sept. 2, about 4,000 more than the previous week.

More than 10 million people have signed up for X in December

More than 10 million people have signed up for X in December, X CEO Linda Yaccarino said in a post on the social media platform on Thursday. This comes as the company, formerly known as Twitter, risks losing as much $75 million in advertising revenue by the end of the year as major brands pause their marketing campaigns on the platform, according to the New York Times. X, which does not regularly release user data, could not immediately be reached for comment on how the December sign-ups compared to average or why Yaccarino disclosed the figure. Billionaire owner Elon Musk said in July the site had 540 million monthly users. Several companies, including Apple, Disney, Warner Bros Discovery, Comcast, Lions Gate Entertainment , Paramount Global, and IBM said in November they were pausing their advertisements on X.

Ilkay Gundogan sends message to 'incredible' Bernardo Silva after Barcelona move

Ilkay Gundogan heaped praise on former Manchester City teammate Bernardo Silva during his presentation at Barcelona, who want to sign the Portugal international this summer. Barcelona prioritised a free move for Gundogan and have now turned their attention to other targets, including Silva, who has long been towards the top of the wish lists of those in charge at Camp Nou. Silva, 28, has two years remaining on his City contract and has made it clear he would like to leave the Premier League champions this summer. City will not stand in his way but will only entertain offers of around £75m - likely too high for Barcelona.
