**[U.S. Department of Labor "Technical Error" Leaks Data: Continued Unemployment Claims Surge]** Reported by Jinse Finance, data released by the U.S. government on Tuesday shows that the number of Americans receiving unemployment benefits significantly increased from mid-September to mid-October. This suggests that the unemployment rate in October may remain elevated as the uncertain economic environment dampens companies' hiring intentions. A spokesperson for the Department of Labor stated, "A technical issue caused some data to be released prematurely," adding that "the issue is currently being corrected, and the complete data sequence will be published by the end of business on November 20, 2025." The data shows that for the week ending October 18, the number of people continuing to claim unemployment benefits after their initial week of filing (a metric considered a proxy for measuring hiring conditions) increased by 10,000 to 1.957 million after seasonal adjustments. This marks a significant jump from the 1.916 million recorded for the week ending September 13. (Jin10)
