Notes:  Non-seasonally adjusted data are used throughout. Regular state UI continued claims are for the week ending May 30; regular state UI initial claims are for the weeks ending May 30 and June 6. PUA continued claims are for the week ending May 23; PUA initial claims are for the weeks ending May 23, May 30, and June 6. "Other programs" are continued claims in other programs for the week ending May 23 and available initial claims in other programs for the weeks ending May  23 and May 30. 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 new 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 worksharing and others; a fuller description 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 42 states 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 claims).
