The Congressional Budget Office expects the unemployment rate to remain in double-digits through the end of 2020 and GDP to shrink 5.9%

WASHINGTON—The jobless rate is expected to remain in double-digits through the end of the year, and the economy will shrink an estimated 5.9%, according to projections released by the Congressional Budget Office Thursday.

Well one thing is always a “given” when it comes for he CBO and that’s their always wrong.

And just in time, the truth is out:

Yeah, because it’s an election year and it has too. Dems will burn this country to the ground, kill people by defunding the police just to stay in POWER!!!!!

If we wore masks, it would be under 1%. Trump’’s continued destruction.

Good luck with that.

Nice. Gotta throw out that negative news quick. Don't want people to get their hopes up.

All for political gain, the dems COULD have put up a moderate candidate who isn't as old as dirt and just barely smarter than dirt. Instead, they used a virus that 99.5% will recover from to out millions out of work, and promote protests & riots which led to a massive outbreak.

Reopening stocks leading the market higher today again. Energy and casinos... reopening

I can make shit up, too.

Unemployment rate at 11.1% in June, another 1.4 million workers filed jobless claims last weekJUST IN: Another 1.4 million workers filed for unemployment insurance in the last week, as the unemployment rate fell slightly to 11.1% in June, according to data released by the Department of Labor. A tale of two headlines... Once again people commenting either didn't the article or choose the logic fallacy of reductionism. In other words a simplistic approach to reports on facts that require context & nuance. This jobs report is for the status of jobs from 5+ weeks ago. Not what jobs are today. 🤦🏻‍♀️ The unemployment fell slightly? Hahaha it plunged 16.5% in one month! That's an enormous improvement. The economy has recovered one third of the lost jobs in just two months.
