New highs in unemployment insurance claims

Aisling Cleary, Joyce Kwok and Robert Valletta

FRBSF Economic Letter, 2009, issue sep8

Abstract: Unemployment insurance benefits have been on an upward trend over the past two decades, partially reversing an earlier decline. The trend is associated with shifts toward a higher share of job losers among the unemployed and longer durations of unemployment, which may cause benefits to lapse for some recipients as labor market weakness persists.
