On September 19, due to a technical error, the US Department of Labor released the unemployment claims report for the week on Thursday, which erroneously underestimated the claims of more than 19,000 people in North Carolina. The report showed that the number of people renewing unemployment benefits in North Carolina in the week of September 6 was only 205, the lowest level on record in the state, and the number is usually close to 20,000. The North Carolina Department of Commerce, which collects and transmits the data to Washington, said the number was caused by a "technical error" and the correct number should be 19,355. A spokesperson for the Labor Department said they were still investigating the matter. "As a result, when the data is revised, we expect the number of people renewing jobless claims nationwide to increase by about 20,000," said Abil Reinhart, economist at JPMorgan. "That will still keep jobless claims at the level of previous weeks."
