Fewer people are filing for unemployment.
A new jobless claims report shows new claims for unemployment benefits dropped to 233,000 in the second week of July.
That’s the lowest level in two months.
Investors expected there would not be a drop, and the numbers would remain steady from the previous week.
Historically low unemployment levels from the past few months are one of the biggest signs of a healthy U.S. economy.
