The indicator is used to gauge the labor market's health and the overall health of the US economy. In other words, the indicator indicates the number of persons who lost jobs over the specified time period.

A higher than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the USD while a lower than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the USD.
