How Jobloggr handles unemployment reporting
By Ben Glasser · May 21, 2026 · 2 min read
A weekly unemployment claim usually asks whether you looked for work, and you may have to show the contacts. The record is easier to produce if each application was written down when you sent it, with a date inside that week. Your state sets what counts. Read that state's claimant instructions before you certify. One walkthrough, limited to Utah's own guide, is How to log and report your Utah unemployment work search.
This page is the Jobloggr side of that record: what is stored, what is kept separate from a job contact, and what the export contains. Jobloggr does not file the claim.
What is saved on a job
A job can hold the employer, the role, the date you applied, how you made contact, and the result. The Chrome extension can fill the title, the company, and the URL from the listing you are viewing. On some boards it can also fill an address and the posting ID. You still enter the date, the contact method, and the result. The date on the work-search line is the day you applied, not the day you saved the listing.
What is not a job contact
Workshops, networking, reemployment appointments, résumé updates, and similar items are activities, stored apart from jobs. Each one has a date, a short description, and an optional link or file. The app does not decide whether your state will count one of those as a work-search contact. That answer is in your state's instructions.
What the export contains
On the Unemployment exports page you choose a week and a format. Pro builds a CSV or PDF from the jobs and activities in that range. You can change a cell in the preview before you download, then file the week yourself.
Some states have their own layout. The current list is in the Terms of Service. Where there is no named form, the generic file has six columns: date, employer, position, URL or email, method, and result. A phone number, a street address, or a job ID that is not already in the URL-or-email column can be typed into the preview.
If you need the file again
Each export is saved, so you can download that same file later. Audit hold keeps the linked jobs, activities, and contacts from being deleted and keeps the weekly files. Without it, records stay for five years after the claim closes. Pro can also download those records as an annual archive ZIP.
State rules change. Confirm the current instructions with your state office before you submit a week.
