No Apartment!

Can't lose your job again when you've already lost it the week/month prior.

That must really piss you Maskholes off...not going the right way for ya is it...

This not good news for the Biden campaign.

That’s because 27000 people’s unemployment benefit ran out.

The loss of that $600 boost is soon to be felt. The republicans should have passed the hero’s bill on her end. But now shit is all Over the place. But the fed sure as hell fed their sugar daddies on Wall Street, trillions!

Think about it TraitorTrump & PukeBoyPense Believe we are to stupid to understand that they lie to us daily.

kenkircher1 Gee it's under I million strike up the band

I wonder if those numbers are because people got denied so many times they gave up. How many people are still waiting to be denied?

Politics When i stop seeing 'We Are Hiring' signs everywhere I go, then I will see reasons for there to be reliefs in things like this. No one is above any job. May not be what you want to do, but it's what you need to do.

Guaranteed Trump and his supporters are going to brag about this 🤦🏻‍♂️

When you hold the Country hostage over a virus that has a 0.50% death rate, and pay people more to sit at home what do you expect?

When my benefits run out if I don’t have a job I am filing for early social security? I imagine social security has seen an increase in new claimants who just said the heck with job hunting.Never thought of taking social security until I was laid off after 35 years in same career

ThisWeekABC So, does that mean only 30 million people are unemployed now, Any dip is good but this is still sad news. People are suffering badly.

ThisWeekABC So many negative, hateful people. Anything to disparage this President. He is trying to help ALL Americans even though some of you HATE him. I LOVE realDonaldTrump. Trump2020Landslide

People at my fiances work were getting played and getting unemployment so I'm sure people are using the system also.

Week benefits stopped commuter traffic was about back to normal where I live in ny?

SaRaAshcraft But let’s keep lockdowns on our states because the numbers of cases are up. Despite the number os deaths, which has been down for over 20 weeks where I live 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ WakeUpAmerica

There’s plenty of jobs open !!! Enlist into the Service !!!

Awaiting your coverage on how Democrats are doing with Chicago...

Yet still 400k higher than the previous record before the pandemic.

Could the other 40,000 people have been unable to file due to storm-related power, internet, and roadway disruptions?

Where is the ABC story on five year old Cannon Hinnant who was executed by a shot to the head?

You forgot the continued jobless claims of 15.5 million part.

Keep in mind these are new claims: There are still millions and millions Americans receiving unemployment that is not count in this 963,000 and there are more who needs the money but has been kick off the role because funding has ran out. So is the 963,000 good news? Answer: NO

My daughter brought up an issue that could still affect jobless claims. People who don't know they can or how to file. I know that sounds crazy, but she just got through a couple days helping a woman at her church who didn't know she could apply for benefits. So they're out there

I get a big $173 a week! That doesn't support me an 2 kids an one in College who is paying for his own College! Ive had to start a Go Fund Me an a Venmo accont to try an get money for bills food rent i have no car! If anyone can help please🙏

What about the mortgage that the landlords have to pay? No jobs - No rent - No mortgage

Are any of you morons going to point out that’s because gig workers and self employed can no longer file?

Why does media always word things BY GOP TERMS. If your not paying attention, Tweets like this make you think their is improvement. Having 963000 NEW UNEMPLOYED compared to over 1000000 ISN'T AN IMPROVEMENT Fin News Orgs, 1 MILLION ISN'T SOME MAGICAL NUMBER

How many States still have lockdowns or covid business restrictions?

payroll taxes just one method of taxation other more efficient ones that relieve burden from wage earners

Now that's what I call WINNING

Oh boy, we're winning! 🤦‍♂️

Cancel rent. This is obvious stuff.

Yep. Somehow Trumps economy always beats expectations, always. Trump2020

Democrat manufactured hype shuts down jobs to suppress the election.

MAGA

When it hits the fan, the US economy is done and the mishandling of it all is on the hands of Trump and the GOP Senate.

Great... Look like losing the extra $600 is getting purple back to work

They need to get that stimulus passed. This is getting more serious.

Presidential parade to celebrate such ‘winning’?

Democrats should be panicking right now!!

56 million unemployed 🤯

Free ride over....go get a job

Weekly Unemployment Claims Drop Below 1 Million for First Time Since MarchUnemployment claims fell to less than 1 million last week for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic hit the U.S. in March. Trump is getting us back on track. He's the grown up in the room, fighting for us. It's inspiring to see, especially considering his opponents. I hope we remember this in November and send Trump back to the White House. Shouldn't that say 'new' claims? WE ARE ROARING BACK UNDER PRES TRUMP! 📈🇺🇸✈️
