Another 860,000 Americans filed for unemployment benefits last week

It was another week-on-week decline for jobless claims as the jobs recovery drags on, but the improvements have been slow and the jobs recovery is running out of steam. Weekly claims have improved since mid-August, when they briefly inched higher.Despite the improvement, last week's claims were still about four-times higher than they were before the pandemic.

It took weeks for many out-of-work Americans to have their claims accepted, resulting in large backlogs that could skew the figures.What's more, criminals swiftly sought to take advantage of the chaos and filed fraudulent claims, making it even more difficult to determine the true number of people in the unemployment system.Some experts say there are fewer folks collecting benefits than the number listed in the report. They point to the PUA program as one source of the problem.

Step one is wanting to work.

Make more money on unemployment..why work

SO MUCH WINNING

How is it that in August 1.4 million jobs added but over 3 million unemployment claims and yet the unemployment rate fell hmm

The Democrats must be furious

What is the purpose of the raising pay when they pay rate goes up prices goes up the value of the dollar goes down. No thank you save the trees don't cut them down to make paper there is a better use of it. Don't waste the paper to print more money,

You have liberal states still shut down. Have a second grader explain this to you. What kind of tax incentives does CNN get for hiring all these developmentally challenged people? I applaud them for it but maybe not let the write news stories.

IvankaTrump realDonaldTrump DonaldJTrumpJr FLOTUS --- Thought you all touted job growth, yet reports show more unemployment in one week...BeBest put your sizes down now for those Orange Jumpsuits...Prison 2021 for you all!

Mainly because governors refuse to open their economy back up. LET PEOPLE GO BACK TO WORK! Do it with common sense, but do it.

Last week was higher than the previous and this week was lower than last so it’s not “another” decline. It’s A decline.

Trump is an epic failure. TrumpKnewAndDidNothing TrumpIsKillingAmericans TrumpDeathToll200K TrumpHatesOurMilitary

and yet, people still haven’t received their unemployment payments from May..

Hmm- who sends out the daily democrat talking points, with photos and instructions?

Hear of Covid 19?

Get a job?No Thank you!!!

Funny how CNN focuses on the the number and not the fact that it’s on a continual decline. They want everyone to remain fearful.

CNN very careful not to sound like good news. Joke

Liberals blame trump yet they scream shelter at home forever!! You can’t be this dumb.

I guess they were hoping for a bit more activity in the labor market .

This is ok news wrapped in the end-of-the-world wrapping paper

DUH!

Heir Murphy won't let us out of lockdown until November 3rd

Sad, ignored and shamed.

WELL DA its been Dont have to be a Scholar to understand why its slow I guess since no one graduated 3rd grade at CNN I will explain it, DEMOCRATIC RUN STATES WILL NOT OPEN THINGS UP FOR PEOPLE TO WORK. They dont want the numbers to improve They only care about not electing Trump

Thanks to the evil democrats and their stupid agendas .. look whats happening in New York

Blue states are in election motivated lock down. Half the unemployed are in California...

If NY and CA opened up their states then the numbers would be a lot better but it’s obviously they won’t. Unreal how pathetic the DNC & CNN are hungry for power once again no matter who is hurt in the process

Around 860,000 people filed for first-time jobless benefits last weekThe stalemate in Washington over coronavirus relief will 'make it far harder in coming months to claw back the jobs lost during the pandemic,' said one economist. Congress remains deadlocked over new relief measures, and the $600 in additional assistance expired in July. Millions face eviction, food pantries are seeing record levels of need, and some laid-off workers are waiting weeks or months to receive their unemployment benefits. People may be filing but are they receiving unemployment benefits. morningmika Young people are not having children because of climate change, a classiest society, and the knowledge that this planet is going to be unlivable within 10 years.
