Claims for jobless benefits climbed more than expected in the past week as the US labour market continued to be restrained by a sluggish economy.

Initial jobless claims rose by 20,000 to 457,000, the labour department said on Thursday. That was a bigger jump than Wall Street economists anticipated, leaving the four-week average for new claims up 2,000 to 456,000.
