The number of people filing first-time applications for unemployment benefits in New York state rose nearly 17 percent to 14,904 in the week ending Oct. 8 from 12,762 the week before.

The rise in initial jobless claims in the Empire State comes after claims in the state had fallen to 16-year lows.
