Initial Jobless Claims show the number of people filing to receive unemployment insurance benefits for the first time over the past week.

The indicator is used to assess the state of the labor market. Since the weekly flow of data causes high volatility, the four-week average values are used most often for interpretation.

The indicator growth can have a negative effect on US dollar quotes.
