At 14:30 (GMT+2), in the United States, data on the number of initial applications for unemployment benefits is due. The indicator determines the number of people who filed applications for the first time during the past week. Statistics are collected by the National Department of Labor and published in a weekly report. The number of claims is used to measure the health of the employment sector, as an increase in the number means fewer people are hired. It may change from 238.0K to 236.0K.
