The Labor Department says weekly applications for unemployment insurance benefits in Ohio fell by nearly 51 hundred last week due to fewer layoffs in manufacturing. Ohio had the ninth-largest decline of the 50 states. Nationally, claims rose by 19 thousand last week to a seasonally-adjusted 348 thousand. The increase follows three straight weeks of declines.
