Prototype view of a prepared illustrative series for the FRED IC4WSA 4-week moving average. Values and dates require official FRED validation before publication.
Source evidence: saved Bocha search results identify FRED IC4WSA / U.S. Employment and Training Administration as the intended public series. Values shown are prepared illustrative values because direct FRED CSV retrieval failed in this runtime due to DNS/name-resolution error; see evidence/fred_csv_fetch_failure.txt.
Within the prepared series, bars above zero show higher claims versus the prior prepared week; below zero show lower claims.
In the prepared illustrative series, values rise from the low-220k range into early summer, then ease for two prepared weeks to 237.5k.
The late-June value near 246.8k is the highest point in the prepared series, not a verified anomaly.
Monitor future verified releases against the heuristic 240k reference line; it is not an official threshold.
