First-time claims for unemployment benefits fell below a million again last week, the Labor Department reports. This happened before — in early August — before claims reversed course and bounced higher.

Another 881,000 Americans filed initial claims for benefits last week on a seasonally adjusted basis. Normally, the fact that so many people filed for unemployment last week would not be a reason to celebrate. But these are not normal times, and this is another sign that the jobs market is gradually recovering.Continued jobless claims, which count people filing for benefits for at least two weeks in a row, also offered some good news: It stood at a seasonally adjusted 13.

The adjustment changes mean that we can't compare this week's seasonally adjusted data to that of last week. To get a good look at how the number of claims has changed over time, we should look at the unadjusted data.Read MoreWithout the adjustments, claims for unemployment insurance actually rose by about 7,500 to 833,352. On top of that, 759,482 Americans filed claims under the government's Pandemic Unemployment Assistance Program , more than 150,000 more than in the prior week.

CNN I guess you’re seeing the importance of not shutting down the country! It is kind of a dumb statement and people are losing their jobs due to the government shutting the country down! Wake up America vote these crazies out!

your not going to if you live in a democrat controlled state. not until Nov 4th

Huh but the stock market is doing all time high... Oh wait its not the 'real deal'. Also when you close business then this happens. Its should not have closed at all. See Sweden.

There is plenty of work out there just some are to lazy to work... Some times you need to start at the bottom and work your way back up the ladder. But our education systems and colleges don’t teach that anymore...

CNN why are you covering up for Pelosi

Everyone needs a job right now. In all honesty, I don't think realDonaldTrump is happy with the unemployment issue. But going back to work can only be made possible when the economy is fully opened and this depends largely on the attitude of Americans to a large extent.

A few things the unemployed have to ask themselves are: 1. What employable talent do I have? 2. What does my history reveal about me, that could hurt me? 3. What do I expect as a salary, and how is that affected by my talent? 4. Am I available for training? 5. Am I dependable?

Seasonally adjusted? What headline puts up a number under 1,000,000 right BEFORE election and calls it significant?

THEY SO SELFISH SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi JUST PASS THE BILL NOT BECAUSE YOU NOT THE ONE HUNGRY OR BILLS UNPAID HELP THE AMERICANS FAMILIES SELFISH PEOPLE STRAIGHT WOW THEY COULD PASS THE STIMULUS PACKAGE FOR AMERICANS FAMILIES

Well, CNN, that's a cover-the-bases approach to balanced news...all in one tweet, too! 😂 Ah, the difference wording can make!

It’s time to blow the whistle on the stock market. It will crash soon. Key gauges show this is coming. It’s “not different this time” The social, health & economic foundations are cracked. The crash will be worse than 2000 or 2009. stockmarketcrash

SpeakerPelosi senatemajldr Good job guys, acting like you are for the people, but it is really about your party winning. What a legacy you are leaving.

Let's not forget a series of hurricanes probably slowed that number

Just think six months ago 181,000 was a great number. In October these numbers are going to sky rocketed again due to PpP expiring. My wife’s company is laying off 20,000 this week alone.
