Are signs of a more generalized uptick in #UIclaims showing up in the regular state programs (not included federal)? You have to squint pretty hard to see it in the latest data to separate an increase from simply noise, but I'll be watching these trends closely in coming weeks and months. #EconSky

On Thursday, we will get the latest #UIClaims data. Most of the action there in terms of spikes has been for federal workers, but DC has been hit acutely among non-federal workers as well, a nearly 100% increase in claims over the year, likely tied to cut to federal contracts and federal funding.
Labor market data has been slow to show signs of widespread economic distress. What will we see in this week's releases of #JOLTS #UIClaims and jobs data?

Little change in unemployment insurance data last week.
New #UIClaims fell 2K last week to 213K, lowest since April. Continuing claims up a smidge.
I missed it this morning, cuz it is a day early for holiday.
Happy Thanksgiving.
I'm a couple days late checking on weekly unemployment insurance claims but not much action.
New #UIClaims remained steady and low (Table), consistent with continuing record high levels of job security for U.S. employees (Figure).
New & continuing #UIClaims flat last week.
American employees continue to experience record high job security, though this is undercovered in the media.
New #UIClaims down 5% last week from prior, moderate level but a 2nd week slightly elevated from recent months.
New #UIClaims up 11% from low 202K to moderate 231K, keep your eyes on this. Just NY & CA account for most of the rise. Could be noise (or real).
Continuing claims flat.
New #UIClaims flat. Continuing claims edge down.
American workers continue to enjoy record high job security.
New #UIClaims rise 4% to 224K into week ending 1/29, low but trending up.
Continuing claims similar.
American workers continue to enjoy job security near record highs. Initial #UIclaims are LOW.
99.0% kept their jobs if they wanted it in the most recent data (Nov). Only 1.0% were fired or discharged.
99.0% job security is close to record 99.1% & higher than any month in 2 decades pre-May'21
