New U.S. applications for unemployment benefits fell by 1,000 from 192,000 in the prior week, the government said.

The numbers: The number of Americans who applied for unemployment benefits last week slipped to a three-week low of 191,000, signaling little erosion in a strong U.S. labor market even as the economy faced fresh strains.

Economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had forecast new claims to total 198,000 in the seven days ended March 18. The numbers are seasonally adjusted. The number of people collecting unemployment benefits across the country, meanwhile, rose by 14,000 to 1.69 million in the week ended March 11. That number is reported with a one-week lag.

The Federal Reserve, for instance, just raised interest rates to a nearly 16-year high. And the failure of Silicon Valley Bank has put more stress on the U.S. financial system.
