Another 745,000 Americans filed for first-time unemployment benefits on a seasonally adjusted basis last week, the Labor Department reported Thursday. It was a slightly smaller number of claims than economists had expected, but up from the prior week. On top of that, 436,696 workers applied for Pandemic Unemployment benefits, which are available to people like the self-employed or gig workers.Together, first-time jobless claims stood at 1.2 million without seasonal adjustments last week.
Even though the private sector report and the government's official figures, which are due Friday at 8:30 am ET, aren't correlated, it's not a great sign.Economists predict 182,000 jobs were added in February, up from 49,000 added at the start of the year. If this holds true, America would still be down 9.7 million jobs from February 2020, when the unemployment rate was near a 50-year low of 3.5%.
Good luck getting thru to Unemployment when u have a problem cause they are the Worst....Smh
Only going to get worse under biden
Thanks to the Biden administration
Sens Portman & Cassidy & Former Gov. Rick Scott etc. do any of you understand how Economics work? Conservative constrained policies in a changing economy does not work to life people out of poverty? Obama & Biden understood you did not that's why in 2019-2020 economy was sinking!
Open up all businesses now
Because the treacherous Prez-Select + US Congress are bought + paid for by racist, global corp warmongers. Their 1st priority is checking off their to-do lists. Not serving the people. The richest, most powerful nation has neglected, impoverished and failed the people. Shameful.
HOW MUCH MONEY IS THE DEMOCRATS GOING TO GIVE TO ALL THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHILE THE REAL AMERICANS SUFFER. THE DEMOCRATS DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT AMERICANS.
Recently my friend's baby was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia & needs a stem cell transplant. Jason & his wife are first-time parents caring for a sick baby & could use some help. If you are in a place to donate or share, it would be appreciated.
Good job OBiden!
But the GOP wants to cut the amount of money they get from Biden’s relief package and McConnell is afraid they won’t want to work if they get that money!
Open up the damn economy already and maybe start obsessing over the coup in Myanmar.
But yet they want to sit in their chairs and say they are making america great?... while hundreds of thousands of ppl are jobless while things go up in price, cost of living etc....? Hmm
Do you remember the old saying, “How do you know when a politician is lying, his lips are moving!”... Well these Republican Senators have taken it to a totally new level. As I watch them on the news channels it’s almost like telemetry. It’s like it’s okay when they lie!
It is leftist who are against opening up economy and getting people back to work.
Next thing will be inflation so remaining employees will experience a real devaluation of their salaries. Businesses have used Covid as an excuse to deny raises and earned bonuses.

How come only the formally employed get unemployment? What about us under the table casino owners that have seen a slump in business, what resources are there for us(the little guys)?
Employers are starting to figure out how to operate with fewer employees and squeeze more productivity out of those who remain. One big way is to slow promotions so super qualified employees are doing jobs faster, better and more efficiently because their is no upward mobility.
Considering state of CO alone had over a million fraudulent claims filed by scammers, how can we be sure these numbers are accurate?
JoeBiden should resign. These levels of unemployment are unacceptable for this great country. beaccountable
Every politician should be sanctioned. All their accounts should be frozen until those people have jobs again. If the people can't make their own money politicians shouldn't either.

Lol a seasonally adjusted basis...its amazing how two-faced CNN and the fake news media really is... it was so great to see Kary Lake from Arizona be honest about not being able to lie and make up stories anymore... I'm sure she'll be chastised cuz she didn't follow the Dems lies
Slurp up the unemployment benefits. Combined with the extra $400 per week you get more just staying at home.
Israel illegal state....Israel illegal state....Israel illegal state....Israel illegal state....Israel illegal state....Israel illegal state....Israel illegal state
Lets not forget unemployment benefits for these people expire is 10 days and the GOP is trying everything they can to allows this to happen.

Gas prices through the roof and stocks plummeting. Welcome to sleepy joes America.
