Unemployment insurance claims and benefits data

See how many workers are filing for unemployment benefits across Washington and by county.

The unemployment insurance program provides unemployment benefits to eligible workers who become unemployed through no fault of their own and meet certain other eligibility requirements.

You can use these reports to see the number of people filing for benefits and how claims change over time, statewide and by county. You can also use them for planning and funding decisions by understanding where job loss is rising or leveling off.
