A decrease in the number of Americans getting jobless benefits would offer another sign the labor market is mending

The ranks of Americans drawing on unemployment benefits ticked up to 21.

5 million in the week ended May 23, though the pace of increase significantly slowed from earlier in the coronavirus pandemic, the Labor Department said last week. So-called continuing claims are released with a one-week lag, and new data are slated to publish Thursday morning.

That’s an interesting take

lmnysf Now hiring Minimum wage no benefits So the rejoices .. 🤬

Really That's good news Do you want a year over year comparison

All that tells us is people are going back to their jobs, as it should be. Didnt these businesses agree to take the PPP money as a condition to keep their employees. Are u applauding progress with 20.9 million still using benefits. Sick and Sad.

This is journalistic malpractice. 1.5M MORE unemployment claims were filed. Delete this.

WSJ you people are as high as a kite! WTF! 44 million people out of work and and few taco truck drivers are now back at work.. so it's on the mend? What you will not say to boost stock prices.

Polish that turd, boys!

Huh? 1.5 million more filed for unemployment.

Didn't the Federal Reserve just say we would have a slow labor recovery until 2022.

LOL

I think another 1.5 million filed

Thanks to the fiscal stimulus bills that Congress enacted and thanks to the efforts of doctors and nurses to keep the workers alive.

Fake numbers.
