📈 Initial Jobless Claims Down This Week

Last week's initial jobless claims were seasonally adjusted*** and revised up by 48,000 from 198,000 to 246,000. So this week’s number of claims at 228K was an 18K improvement. The next few weeks should provide a better picture of where the job market is heading and if it seems companies are picking up the hiring again.

Initial Jobless Claims measure the number of individuals who have recently filed for unemployment benefits for the first time. A higher number of initial claims indicates that more people are losing their jobs and may be struggling to find work. ‘SA’ is Seasonally Adjusted.

*Insured Unemployed refers to people who have lost their jobs and are receiving financial assistance through unemployment insurance. This helps understand how many people need help finding new jobs and how healthy the job market is.

***Seasonally Adjusted data accounts for seasonal fluctuations in joblessness that can occur due to a variety of factors, such as holidays, weather patterns, and school schedules. By seasonally adjusting the initial jobless claims data, analysts can compare the data from one period to another with greater accuracy.
