How this service works
Workers receiving ongoing unemployment benefits — a measure of how long the unemployed stay out of work. Lags initial claims by one week but confirms whether job loss is persistent. Use alongside initial claims for a complete unemployment picture. Weekly frequency.
Output
A JSON array of weekly observations, each containing the raw continued claims value, month-over-month and year-over-year absolute and percentage changes, 12-month and 5-year z-scores, 5-year percentile rank, 3-month and 12-month rolling averages, and a flag indicating whether the value is above long-run trend.
Example use cases
Recession signal monitoring for macro dashboard
“Fetch the latest continued claims reading from StationFX and flag whether it's above its long-run trend — I want the z-score relative to the past 5 years so I can gauge how stressed the labor market is right now.”
Comparing unemployment persistence before and after Fed hikes
“Get continued insured unemployment claims data from StationFX from 2022-01-01 to 2024-12-31 so I can see how labor market persistence evolved through the rate-hiking cycle — include year-over-year percent changes.”
Weekly labor market briefing for an investment analyst
“Give me this week's continued unemployment claims from StationFX in the compact toon format, including the 12-month z-score and rolling 3-month average, for my weekly macro brief.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://stationfx.com/economic-data/labor/continued-claims-insured-unemployment?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need weekly continued unemployment claims data with pre-computed statistical context (z-scores, percentile ranks, trend flags) rather than raw series alone. It is preferable over generic FRED API calls when you want agent-ready enriched output without post-processing. Best used alongside initial claims data for a complete picture of labor market health. Ideal for macro research, recession monitoring, and Fed policy analysis.
