We're now tracking state job search.
Search activity fell BELOW national trend in states cutting off federal UI imminently (June 12 and 19). That's not what you'd expect if people were upping their searches ahead of UI ending ...

... if anything it looks like relative search activity rises in states roughly one month before federal UI benefits are scheduled to end, and then falls. I'm not sure why -- open to hunches! And even that pattern isn't very strong.

What's clear is there's not a big jump in relative search activity in states cutting off federal UI benefits this Saturday June 12. We'll be watching what happens in those and other states.
