Pourquoi c’est important
It is the most timely labour-market indicator, published every week: a sustained rise in initial claims is one of the earliest signs of layoffs spreading through the economy.
Mode de calcul
State unemployment offices report the claims filed; the national figure is seasonally adjusted. The four-week average smooths holiday and weather effects.
Ce que signifient les variations
- One week means little; watch the four-week average and the trend.
- Continuing claims rising while initial claims are steady means the unemployed take longer to find work.
Supérieur aux attentes : More claims than expected signal rising layoffs: the US dollar tends to soften and bond yields to fall.
Inférieur aux attentes : Fewer claims than expected point to a solid labour market and tend to support the US dollar.
Un bref historique
The US Department of Labor has published weekly claims since 1967.
