Can you explain to me how these “unemployment claims” numbers work? The headlines are for “new claims,” so how are total active claims handled, or are claims renewed each week? Just curious.

Travel and tourism related also, I think.

These are new claims for the week. Claims filed in prior weeks go into the total unemployment figures.

Tks, silly question, but just trying to figure out why some news reports show only “total weekly claims” and others “total new weekly claims” — I guess just semantics.
