Weekly jobless claims alerts by email

Why this feed exists

Weekly jobless claims are the highest-frequency official read on layoffs the U.S. produces. DOL releases them every Thursday at 8:30 AM ET, versus once a month for the jobs report. No single week tells you much; the trend across several weeks is what shifts Fed expectations and equity positioning.

What each alert includes

The release headline the moment DOL publishes it, a link to the full report, and a Market read on how this week's claims fit the recent trend, whether the four-week moving average is turning, and the plausible transmission to rate expectations and labor-sensitive sectors.

What we filter, honestly

The Department of Labor issues a steady stream of press releases on grants, enforcement actions, and program updates that have nothing to do with markets. This feed alerts only on the weekly initial and continuing claims report, and it ignores the department's other announcements.
