Non-seasonally-adjusted data are used throughout. Regular state UI continued claims are for the week ending June 13; regular state UI initial claims are for the week ending June 20. PUA continued claims are for the week ending June 6; PUA initial claims are for the weeks ending June 13 and June 20. “Other programs” are continued claims in other programs for the week ending June 6. Initial claims are in the first round of processing. Continued claims have made it through at least the first round of processing. Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) is the federal program for workers who are out of work because of the virus but who are not eligible for regular state unemployment insurance (UI) benefits (e.g. the self-employed). “Other programs” includes Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC), Short-Time Compensation (STC), and others; a full list can be found in the bottom panel of the table on page 4 at this link: https://www.dol.gov/ui/data.pdf. Regular state UI claims are reported for all 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. PUA claims are currently only being reported for 46 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico. Continued claims for PUA and UI should be non-overlapping, and initial claims for PUA and UI should also be non-overlapping (I say “should” because that is how DOL has directed agencies to report them—but some states may be misreporting).
