Despite encouraging signs that the economy is emerging from the deepest recession in U.S. history, massive COVID-19-related layoffs have continued.
The Labor Department on Thursday is expected to report that another 1.3 million Americans filed initial jobless claims – a rough measure of layoffs -- last week, according to the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg. As states increasingly reopen their economies, analysts will also be closely watching continuing claims, which largely reflect all those still unemployed and account for people who have returned to work.
The weekly tallies remain far higher than the previous record of 695,000 initial unemployment claims during a deep recession in October 1982. The economy unexpectedly added 2.5 million jobs in May after shedding 22 million the prior two months, indicating the recovery from the coronavirus -induced pandemic began a month earlier than anticipated as states started allowing many businesses shuttered by the crisis to reopen.Broken glass, broken dreams: Small businesses ravaged by protests and COVID-19 contemplate an uncertain future
