WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The number of U.S. workers filing new claims for jobless insurance fell for the second week in a row and the four-week moving average of claims was the lowest in nearly a year, government data showed on Thursday, pointing to improvements in the labor market.

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits dropped last week to a seasonally adjusted 502,000, the lowest since January, from a revised 514,000 the prior week. Analysts polled by Reuters had expected initial claims to fall to 510,000 from an initially reported 512,000.

The four-week moving average, considered a better gauge of underlying trends as it irons out week-to-week volatility, decreased to 519,750, the lowest since a matching level in the week ended November 29, 2008.

The number of those collecting long-term unemployment benefits also fell, to 5.631 million in the week ended October 31, the most recent week for which data is available, the lowest since March.
