Dec 11

In case anyone is surprised (as I was) at the big jump back up of the initial claims, while continuing claims dive (see graph in the OP)

The initial claims is for the week ending December 6

while the continuing claims is for the week ending November 29 - which includes Thanksgiving.

There is a slowdown in claims activity during Thanksgiving week
