About
Unemployment is a market topic covering the share of the labor force that is jobless and looking for work, along with related labor market data. In the United States the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes the unemployment rate monthly in its Employment Situation report, drawn from the Current Population Survey, and the Department of Labor reports initial unemployment insurance claims every week. Investors follow it because labor conditions bear on consumer spending and on Federal Reserve policy, which carries a maximum employment goal.
