The key takeaway from the report is that initial claims remain locked in a narrow range right on their four-week moving average, signaling little overall change in layoff activity.

Initial jobless claims for the week ending September 5 decreased by 1,000 to 206,000 (Briefing.com consensus 208,000) from last week's revised total of 207,000 (from 206,000).
