Over the past week alone, 3 million Americans have applied to the employment service for unemployment benefits.
On Thursday, May 14, reports the US Department of Labor.
In just two months, the number of unemployed in the United States has reached 36.5 million. The Bureau of Labor Statistics calls this indicator the worst since the Great Depression.
Bankrate economic analyst Mark Hamrick has compared total unemployment to a “disgusting blow to the stomach.” He stressed that this blow is only one of many.
