The Dept. of Labor publishes data on initial jobless claims weekly, and today much of the talk in the financial media was about this on the grounds that, in the era of Coronavirus, slow metrics like Non-Farm Payrolls are not useful in understanding how the economy is responding now.
Although we run consumer surveys that ask about respondents employment situation, we’ve never asked directly “did you claim for unemployment insurance this week” and so any data we have access to is bound to be a little indirect. We do ask about “job seeker” status, and so differencing that datum, and multiplying it by the eligible population size, should be indicative of “new claims.”
The problem is that I don’t know what the eligible populate size is. However, if I assume that relationship between the initial claims number and the data we have exhibits some kind of local temporal stability then I can use the sort of predictor-corrector machine learning model we’ve previously applied to Non-Farm Payrolls to figure out what that is.
