U.S. Q1 GDP up 4.2% v. 5% expected

WASHINGTON(CBS.MW) - The U.S. economy grew at a 4.2 percent seasonally adjusted annual rate in the first quarter, the third straight quarter of strong growth, the Commerce Department estimated Thursday.
Consumer spending accelerated, business investment slowed to a still-robust pace and federal government spending increased.
Economists were expecting growth of around 5 percent, according to a survey conducted by CBS MarketWatch.
GDP is up 4.9 percent in the past four quarters, the biggest gain in 20 years.
Inflation measures jumped.
The personal consumption expenditure price index increased 3.2 percent after 1 percent in the fourth quarter, while the core PCE index rose 2 percent vs. 1.2 percent.
It's the fastest core inflation in six quarters.

U.S. weekly jobless claims fall 18,000 to 338,000

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) - The average number of new claims for state unemployment benefits over the past four weeks fell by 1,250 to 346,500, the Labor Department said Thursday.
Initial claims in the week ending April 24 fell by 18,000 to 338,000, the department said.
Economists say the four-week average provides a better gauge of the job-loss side of the labor market than the volatile weekly number, which is subject to large revisions and can be skewed by one-time factors such as weather or holidays.
The four-week average of total claims fell 9,250 to 3 million, the lowest level since July, 2001.

Economists were expecting a 0.9 percent gain in employment costs, according to a survey conducted by CBS MarketWatch.
Benefit costs soared 2.4 percent while wages and salaries rose 0.6 percent in the first quarter.
In the fourth quarter, employment costs rose 0.8 percent, with benefits up 1.4 percent and wages up 0.5 percent.
