New applications for unemployment benefits filed by federal employees declined for a fourth week and are now back to levels seen at the end of 2024.
There were 564 initial claims filed nationwide in the Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees program for the week ended March 22, according data posted on the Department of Labor’s website on Thursday. That’s about a third of a recent peak a month ago, at a time when the Trump administration started to fire employees across government agencies.
