4. Jobless Claims
- 1,84%
New unemployment claims are compiled
weekly to show the number of individuals
who filed for unemployment insurance for
the first time. An increasing (decreasing)
trend suggests a deteriorating (improving)
labor market. The four-week moving
average of new claims smooths out
weekly volatility.
