[progree]

6. The previous week's initial claims was unrevised, the previous insured unemployment revised down 6k

Initial unemployment insurance claims: 211,000 (+21,000 from previous week, previous week unrevised)

Insured employment, aka continuing claims: 1,718k (+69k from previous week, previous week revised down 6k),

Nice graphs at link. The insured employment has been on a rising trend since October, while the initial claims has been on a flat to slightly downward slope. Indicating I guess that it's taking a little longer to find new jobs.
