FILE - In this April 24, 2020 file photo, empty United Airlines ticket machines are shown at the Tampa International Airport in Tampa, Fla. United United Airlines will send layoff warnings to 36,000 employees - nearly half its U.S. staff - in the clearest signal yet of how deeply the virus outbreak is hurting the airline industry.
The total number of people who are receiving jobless benefits dropped 700,000 to 18 million. That suggests that some companies are continuing to rehire workers. The intensifying outbreaks and more stringent government restrictions have slowed economic activity in much of the country and may be weighing on hiring. The government’s jobs report for June showed a solid gain of 4.8 million jobs and an unemployment rate that fell to 11.1% from 13.3%.
“This suggests that renewed fears about the virus, rather than government restrictions, are driving the pullback in activity,” said Andrew Hunter, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, a forecasting firm. And in the retail industry, the number of shifts worked changed little last week after steady increases in previous weeks. David Gilbertson, a vice president at Kronos, said this suggests that consumer demand in many cases hasn’t picked up enough to justify more employees.
Trump/Putin has destroyed everything Republic is in control for the time being. Criminal activity as President.
Retail/Hospitality make up over half of that. Herd immunity I believe will be quickest way back to normal. Island nations have achieved that like Iceland and New Zealand.

moore2score You ALL would have been BITCHIN' a LOT more louder if Pres. Trump's first reaction to the coronavirus was to COMPLETELY CLOSE the Country. Nobody in, Nobody out. From everywhere. NOT just China. Think about it.
We need a new political party comprised of progressive people who have beeb beat up by the red n the blue, we will call it the purple party, made from our bruises from the red n blue
I bet you a million dollars that the guy in the white house who claimed daily credit for a great economy he inherited isn't going to take any responsibility for this. His supporters will blame the virus but not his incompetence in his handling of it which lead to this mess,sad!
I own a business and have been working on hiring employees. They either don’t show up to the interview or just simply don’t call back. What’s happening America?
Why has every other country been able to handle the pandemic without economic collapse? Is it because they have better leadership? Yes. Is it because they believe in science? Yup. Is it because they've kept a lid on conspiracy nonsense? Absolutely.
This what happens when you have tyrannical governors shutting down the economy for a disease that has a 99% survival rate for those under 70. And a corrupt media that works 24/7 to scare Americans into submission. FakeNews coronavirus
Texas 2,628 Covid deaths 11,431 Influenza deaths California 6,374 Covid deaths 17,838 Influenza deaths (2009 H1NI was declared a global pandemic when only 12,000 died) Virginia 1,853 Covid deaths 3,226 Influenza deaths Georgia 2,878 Covid deaths 4,266 Influenza deaths
I was furloughed in the end of March. Not even one single interview in four months. realDonaldTrump loser!!!
JonLemire Saw you on MSNBC saying president advised 'injecting bleach'. Can you show me the transcript where he said that? Dishonest POS.
Reminder that republicans want to let unemployment benefits expire now that they’ve already funneled billions of dollars to their lobbyist buddies. senatemajldr gop SenateGOP
Unemployment numbers at this time are useless and will be until well after restrictions are lifted
🇺🇸🆘 If you can, please support FeedingAmerica FoodBank4NYC hkfarmproject
JonLemire My husband has been furloughed since the end of March and we lost our health insurance, which was through his employer, Hyatt Hotels. No end in sight.
Negative article from liberal media. From the July 9th report:
FakeChineseVirusCrisis We WANT more infections & continue the downward trend for death rates! Will prove KungFlu is no more deadly than the common flu viruses or other communicable viruses/diseases that kill over 5 million every year! HerdImmunity ReopenAmericaNow Trump2020
After 239 scientists send their letters to the World Health Organisation saying the coronavirus is dangerously airborne, WHO finally say that the coronavirus might be airborne!!!
Praying for America🙏🏻🙏🏻

Companies are laying off workers at a persistently elevated rate as a spike in virus cases has forced six states to reverse their decisions to allow many businesses to reopen.
