“Washington policymakers looking for signs that additional stimulus is necessary can judge for themselves with the millions and millions of jobless workers getting unemployment benefits. The economy cannot carry on for long if it has to drag almost 32 million unemployed workers with it.” That likely threw off the model the government uses to strip out seasonal fluctuations from the data. Unadjusted unemployment insurance claims fell 141,816 to 1.37 million last week.

Last week’s claims data covered the period during which the government surveyed businesses for the nonfarm payrolls component of July’s employment report. Demand has been showing signs of picking up, with retail sales increasing strongly in May and June, supported by the additional weekly unemployment checks from the government. Unless this supplement is extended, this week is the last time that unemployed Americans are eligible for the benefit.

You mean the more busi esses the left closes, the more people are out of work?

Ah, a lot of the US stopped reopening bc of an increase in 'cases'. Ppl don't go out much, so ppl don't have jobs anymore. Again.
