* The weekly applications for unemployment benefits are volatile but are considered a real-time snapshot of the job market. They reflect the pace of layoffs and signal whether companies are hiring. Separately, labor productivity rebounded in the July-September quarter, rising 1.9 percent after falling in the previous quarter.

That could be a positive sign that companies will have to step up hiring to meet growing demand.
