A separate report from global outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas on Wednesday showed employers announced 170,219 job cuts in June. Though layoffs last month were down 57% from May, they jumped 306% compared to June last year. A third report, from the Institute for Supply Management , showed its index of national factory activity jumped to 52.6 last month from 43.1 in May. That was the strongest since April 2019 and ended three straight months of contraction. A reading above 50 indicates growth in manufacturing, which accounts for 11% of the U.S. economy.
Stocks on Wall Street were trading higher. The dollar fell against a basket of currencies.

There can't be a recovery until the federal government develops a competent plan to handle the virus, which is not going to happen under the idiot-in-chief trump.
The consensus amongst preeminent economists is that unemployment will not return to pre-COVID levels until ~2025. Trump & Republicans are -suing to overturn Obamacare—when millions've lost employer-provided insurance -cutting SNAP—when child hunger is soaring VOTE. THEM. OUT.
Nah. Unelected bureaucrats & politicians are threatening the recovery from the mess they created.
No shit
