The pace of job losses in California has slowed for five consecutive weeks, yet the number of people filing for first-time unemployment claims remains at brutally high levels, the federal government reported Friday.

About 318,000 California workers filed initial claims for unemployment during the week that ended May 2, which was down slightly from the 325,000 who filed jobless claims for the week that ended April 25, the U.S. Labor Department reported.
