The 1,823k continuing claims is the highest level since December 11, 2021

In last Thursday's report (3/30), continuing claims was reported as 1,689k
(1,689 + 6 + 128 = 1,823 v/ )

Continuing claims is what the DOL report calls insured unemployment.

The graphs at the above link show considerable growth in both initial and continuing claims.
