Description
The U.S. Number Unemployed for 5-14 Weeks is released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and measures the number of individuals who have been unemployed for 5 to 14 weeks and are actively seeking work during the reporting period.
An increase in this figure may indicate challenges in certain sectors of the economy, leading to a rise in medium-term unemployment. Conversely, a decrease may suggest improvements in the job market, with unemployed individuals finding new employment more quickly.
This data is released monthly, reflecting changes in the number of individuals unemployed for 5 to 14 weeks in the United States during the previous month.
