Initial Jobless Claims
Initial Jobless Claims measure the number of individuals who file for unemployment insurance for the first time in a given week. The data serve as a near-term indicator of labor market strength.
Example: In the latest report, Initial Jobless Claims rose to 260,000 for the week, up from 240,000 the prior week, a development watched for possible implications for short-term labor-market momentum.
