The number of people seeking unemployment benefits fell last week, a sign that companies are cutting fewer jobs and likely stepping up hiring. The labor department says weekly unemployment applications fell 12,000 to a seasonally adjusted 367,000. The four week average, a less volatile measure dropped for the 3rd straight week to a little over 375,000.

Economists  say when applications stay consistently below 375,000 it usually signals that hiring is strong enough to lower the unemployment rate.
