1.5 million unemployment claims were filed last week, even as more Americans return to work after coronavirus closures
Even as the U.S. adds jobs in large numbers as restaurants and other Main Street businesses shuttered by the COVID-19 outbreak reopen, the nation is still hemorrhaging hundreds of thousands of positions as the economic effects spread to other industries.
The weekly tallies are still far higher than the previous record of 695,000 unemployment claims during a deep recession in October 1982. The figure has become more significant because it reflects the vast majority of those still unemployed and should keep falling as more states reopen their economies. Initial claims, by contrast, are made up of those laid off the prior week.
