CPL's Preferred Measure of Entries into Paid Unemployment, by Spell of Unemployment

Regular UI Only

Notes: Bars are stacked and mutually exclusive. An individual is determined to have begun his or her first spell of unemployment in the week which corresponds to their first paid week of unemployment. If an individual then experiences a gap in payments (one or more unpaid weeks) but then returns to paid unemployment, they are determined to have begun another “spell” of unemployment.
