United States · this week's release: Thursday, Jun 11 at 12:30 UTC
Consensus forecast and previous reading from this week's live economic-calendar feed.
Initial jobless claims count the number of people filing for unemployment benefits for the first time in the prior week. It is one of the timeliest of all US data points, published every Thursday for the week before.
Because it is weekly, the series gives the freshest read on labour-market stress. A sustained rise above roughly 260K would flag genuine deterioration; for now traders watch the four-week moving average to filter out noise.
Upcoming Initial Jobless Claims releases appear on the FXMARE economic calendar with a live countdown to the scheduled time. We don't publish a release-history table for this event — only verified live data is shown, never a reconstructed record.
