New This Week

● Statewide Continued Unemployment Claims dropped significantly this week in the state

● County unemployment claims stayed the same or dropped in the reported counties except Blaine County where they rose slightly

Weekly Initial Unemployment Claims

Definitions

An initial claim is a claim filed by an unemployed individual after a separation from an employer. The claimant requests a determination of basic eligibility for the UI program. When an initial claim is filed with a state, certain programmatic activities take place and these result in activity counts including the count of initial claims. The count of initial claims for unemployment insurance is a leading economic indicator because it is an indication of emerging labor market conditions in the country. However, these are weekly administrative data which are difficult to seasonally adjust, making the series subject to some volatility.
