\n Another 1.5 million American workers app<\/a>lied for unemployment benefits last week as the coronavirus pandemic kept the job market under pressure, new data show.<\/p>\n

The seasonally adjusted figure released Thursday means about 45.7 million people \u2014 more than the entire population of Argentina \u2014 have tried to join US unemployment rolls since the crisis began about three months ago.<\/p>\n

The weekly numbers from the US Department of Labor \u2014 one of the most timely indicators of the health of the labor market \u2014 fell for the 11th straight week as the nation gradually emerged from lockdowns meant to control the virus. But last week\u2019s total was still roughly twice the Great Recession\u2019s peak of 665,000. Economists were expecting 1.3 million claims.<\/p>\n

The number of people filing continued benefits claims also dropped slightly to 20.5 million in the week ending June 6, the feds said. That figure tracking continued unemployment has fallen more slowly than initial claims, suggesting the US economy faces a long road to recovery even after adding 2.5 million jobs in May, experts have said.<\/p>\n

The continuing claims figure, which is reported on a one-week lag, \u201chas been slowly drifting lower but has failed to consistently point to shrinking labor market slack,\u201d Bloomberg economist Eliza Winger said in a commentary.<\/p>\n

The coronavirus and efforts to stop its spread have led to job losses across a range of industries, from retail and restaurants to health care and financial services. Some of those jobs have come back as many states began to reopen, but the Federal Reserve still expects the unemployment rate to sit at 9.3 percent by the end of this year.<\/p>\n
