Employment Information Dashboard

Overview

The Employment Information Dashboard presents benefit activities filed through the Utah Unemployment Insurance (UI) system, along with active employer job postings through the Department of Workforce Services job board. These real-time measures offer a time-sensitive snapshot of Utah's economic trajectory. Together, these variables speak toward Utah's current and anticipated labor market trends. The dashboard is intended for information purposes only.

Presented UI benefits are delayed by one week as per a U.S. Department of Labor mandate. The reporting period is Sunday through Saturday. Initial claims are the count of persons filing for new unemployment benefits during the week. Continued claims are ongoing benefit claimants who initiated in prior weeks. Net claims are the change in the aggregate of initial and continued claims compared to the same aggregation from the prior week. Job postings data come from the UWORKS system. It is not inclusive of all potential job postings in the state of Utah.
