1.3 million Americans filed first-time unemployment claims last week

Another 1.3 million people filed first-time jobless claims on a seasonally adjusted basis for the week ending July 11, according to the Department of Labor. That's down 10,000 from the prior week's revised level.On an unadjusted basis, more than 1.5 million people filed first-time claims, up almost 109,000 from the week before. The seasonal adjustments are traditionally used to smooth out the data, but that has tended to have the opposite effect during the pandemic.

That total includes those in the traditional and pandemic unemployment programs, as well as the pandemic emergency unemployment compensation program, which has nearly 936,500 filers. Lawmakers created it in March to provide those who have exhausted their benefits with an additional 13 weeks of payments. It also expires at the end of 2020.

CNN propaganda news, paid for by communists

Send your resume to WHITEHOUSE

Working is lame

Damn yo,im so blessed im still working. I complain every other day. I need to stop that...

You cant have BOTH Lockdowns, and a great economy! You people are partially to blame for this!

Gee, it couldn't be because Blue State Governors and Mayors re-shut down, could it? They are exposing themselves as willing to risk the economy and the mental, physical well-being of its constituents in order to tank the economy leading up to Nov Elections

trump bankrupted us too where did all these TRILLIONS go....they went offshore in tax havens.....you have been SCAMmed again Monthly U.S. Budget Deficit Soared to Record $864 Billion in June

Maybe we should stop shutting down the country because of an election coming

The right with a big sigh of relief, dodged a bullet by closing down businesses again.

Where is Trump on this?

CNN Dem=Liberal hate propaganda, would not have happened if Dem=Liberals would stop trying to hurt the economy.

Fake numbers ! Fake News ! Trump2020 🇺🇸

Why don't Americans save money?

I just heard that beginning next week, the department of labor has to push all data related to job thru the White House. They will review and begin reporting the true unemployment numbers. TrumpAccounting

It’s almost like all of our tax money once again went to Wall Street and the POTUS friends to make the economy look good.

And some of us are still waiting MONTHS after being approved, haven’t received a DIME.

I thought this was about an additional 1.3 trillion dollar stimulus bill

Time for Trump to get a private contractor to take over how and who reports unemployment numbers like he has with Covid data from hospitals.

'It's still not easy to remain employed in the US... 'Still'? This is written as if a pandemic of this nature should be OVER in some artificially short time frame simply because 'people want to go back to work'. How juvenile and unscientific.

19% of Americans were unable to make a housing payment this month and our government is like:

You do know that if the US stopped keeping track of jobless claims we’d have less unemployment. Just saying.

King tRump is going to boast about how great these numbers are!

STOP. THE. SHUTDOWNS.

Hopefully another 1.3 million who wont vote for the 'pretemder' sitting in the White House.

Something is very wrong in America. Do Americans really want a Dictatorship? Wake up America

realDonaldTrump

Alexa, what is a result of businesses being forced by the government to shut down?

The best way to quell the unrest is to get people back to work, but this will increase the number of new cases, government is in a dilemma

Next move for dump trump is too demand all stats for jobs go directly to HHS also so that information can be controlled by Dear Leader also.

BreakandEnterTV The airlines will add to this beginning in October as their corporate bailouts expire. Not enough money for the average citizen to bury or cremate their love ones...137,000 funerals and counting.

This is the “Keep America Great” Trump talks about?
