U.S. Department of Labor said last week that the number of new unemployment benefits was 44.3 million.

In the past five weeks, 26 million people have lost their jobs, equivalent to 16% of the total workforce in the United States.

More jobs have been lost in five weeks than jobs created in the past 10 years since the 2009 financial crisis.

However, as the number of new jobless claims declined for the third consecutive week, there is also hope that the worst is over.

Along the way, there is an analysis that the actual number of corona19 infections in the United States will be much higher than the official number.

New York State says 13.9% of the population tested positive for antibodies.

The total number of residents in New York State is 2.7 million.

[Governor Cuomo / New York: Antibodies were tested against 3,000 people in 19 counties and 40 regions of New York State. Tests were conducted at retail stores and large stores at random.] It

is analyzed that there are many cases of infection that were not caught in statistics due to the absence of symptoms or mild levels.

Researchers at Northeastern University in the United States reported on March 1 that only 23 confirmed cases were found in five major cities, including New York and San Francisco, but in fact, about 30,000 were infected.

The total number of corona19 infected people in the United States so far is 850,000 and 47,000 are dead.
