Almost 46 Million Americans Have Now Filed For Unemployment Claims Since Lockdowns Began
June 19th, 2020Via: ZeroHedge:
Despite the hope-restoring nonfarm payrolls “recovery” and the over-hyped bounce in retail sales (ignoring the lack of ‘V’ in industrial production), in the last week 1.508million more Americans filed for unemployment benefits for the first time (notably worse than the 1.29mm expected).
That brings the thirteen-week total to 45.7million, dramatically more than at any period in American history.
