i stayed away from the TV this morning but in all honesty I thought the number would be worse..
Only because the vast majority of claims haven’t been processed yet. Connecticut reports a 5-week backlog.
TRUMP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO OUR ECONOMY?
YOU B****RD!
DON’T PUT NAZIS IN POWER!
(/liberal)
Remember back in October the media a$$holes were all trying to beat each other saying “recession”? They wanted one that they could blame on Trump. They have it now, and the f*ckfaces are blaming the deaths on Trump, and by implication, the recession.
They know that hard economic times generally mean that the incumbent president doesn’t get reelected.
I don’t doubt for one second that the left is in full election campaign, and that their goal is prominent in their minds.
4.4 unemployment even with Coronavirus ... about 2/3rds the Obama median unemployment rate.
Question: if a small business receives relief money and keeps employees on the payroll, will those employees be removed from the unemployment numbers reported next time??
From 3.9 to 4.4. That ain’t too bad.
That report, of course, is a few weeks old and does not reflect lost jobs through 3-31. No way, since 10 million unemployment applications have been filed in March.
It remains to be seen how long the suspensions/layoffs will last. It is not as if all these job disappeared. Besides, more may be needed as we ramp up USA production of medical gear, etc.
There’s a big incentive to stay out of work for at least 4 months, with no job hunting or reporting strings.
701,000 unemployed in March, but the last two weeks 10 million people claimed unemployment. Interesting.
It "soared" to 4.4 percent. If I remember correctly it was never that good under Ovomit.
How to manufacture a depression 101.
6.6 million first time unemployment applications this last week. 3.3 million last week.
The USA is going to be dead in a month
No way it’s 700,000
Has to be 10-12 million
You stupid people blame trump you better be glad he is there instead of a baby killing democommie who hates all p eople of different races but muslins and illegals and want to see them dead and hate this country and goes for your bastard in new york
