How Jobloggr handles unemployment reporting

A walkthrough of the weekly workflow — capture, organize, export.

Capture as you apply

Every time you apply for a job, Jobloggr captures the details your state unemployment office cares about: the employer, the role, when you applied, how you contacted them, and the result. The Chrome extension auto-fills most of this from the page you are already looking at, so logging an application takes a single click instead of a context switch into a spreadsheet.

Organize by claim

You can also log non-application work-search activities — workshops, networking events, reemployment-services appointments, résumé updates. Each one lives on a single page where you can attach proof: a screenshot, an email, a calendar invite. Your week assembles itself as you go, so when it's time to certify there is nothing to reconstruct from memory.

Generate the export your state accepts

When it's time to certify, you pick a week and a format on the Unemployment exports page. Jobloggr builds the CSV or PDF your state accepts, with the right columns in the right order and your jobs and activities populated. You sign and submit. Jobloggr supports state-specific unemployment exports across the United States. See our Terms of Service for the current list of supported forms.

Reproduce on demand

Every weekly export is snapshotted, so if an auditor calls a year from now you can re-download the exact bytes you submitted. For state audits, you can turn on audit hold to keep records indefinitely; otherwise records stay live for five years and are available as an annual archive ZIP whenever you need them.
