From the source:

Unemployment Insurance Claims:

Initial claims: 192k (down 20k from previous week, previous week revised up 1k),

Continuing claims: 1,684k (down 29k from previous week, previous week revised down by 5k),

Graphs at link!

"Continuing claims" is what BLS reports call "insured unemployment" in their reports

Continuing claims had been trending up slightly, so am glad to see a reversal in direction.
