California workers filed more unemployment claims last week than they did the week before, a setback that raises uncertainty about the strength of the statewide economic recovery.

Workers in California filed 61,900 initial claims for unemployment during the week that ended Sept. 4, up 5,600 from the 56,300 workers who filed first-time jobless claims during the week ending Aug. 28, the U.S, Labor Department reported Thursday.
