Fewer Americans filed for unemployment benefits last week as layoffs remain at historically low levels, the government reported.

The number of new applications for jobless aid in the U.S. totaled 232,000 last week.

The four-week average, a less volatile measure of the job market, rose by 2,500 to 217,750, the Labor Department said.

The U.S. added just 175,000 jobs in April, the fewest in six months, a sign that the job market may finally be cooling off.

The U.S. unemployment rate ticked up to 3.9% from 3.8%, but it has remained below 4% for 27 straight months, the longest such stretch since the 1960s.
