The number of new unemployment insurance claims filed a week by people who lost their jobs in the United States remained at a serious level of more than 2.43 million, and the deterioration of the employment situation due to the impact of the new coronavirus has not stopped.
According to the US Department of Labor's announcement on the 21st, the number of new unemployment insurance claims filed in the week ending 16th was 24,380.
Compared to the week before that, it decreased by 240,000 cases, but still more than three times as serious as the worst case at the time of the Lehman shock, nine weeks after the national emergency declaration was issued. Together, the number has increased to 38 million.
In the United States, there is a move to reopen stores and factories this month, but companies are reluctant to hire due to concerns about the future of the economy, and management has deteriorated even among the large companies that have held up until now. There is a growing movement to dismiss employees.
The U.S. unemployment rate reached the worst 14% level since World War II last month, reaching 20% in the future, and it is expected that one in five people will be unemployed. There is also a possibility that it will become longer.
