“#719,000 filed in bounce from COVID-19 low<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits unexpectedly jumped above the pre-coronavirus record once again last week, the feds said Thursday.<\/p>\n

The batch of 719,000 initial jobless claims came just a week after new filings reached their lowest level since the start of the devastating COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Jobless claims increased from the prior week\u2019s revised total of 658,000 and exceeded economists\u2019 expectations for 680,000 filings.<\/p>\n

Initial claims, traditionally a proxy for layoffs, have dropped in fits and starts over the past three months as vaccines made their way into Americans\u2019 arms and states lifted lockdowns imposed to stem the virus\u2019 deadly winter surge.<\/p>\n

Despite the encouraging downward moves, US Department of Labor data shows massive numbers of Americans continuing to rely on jobless benefits \u2014 including the federal programs that last month\u2019s stimulus package extended.<\/p>\n

Workers claimed 18.2 million weeks worth of state and federal jobless aid in the week ending March 13, with special pandemic relief benefits accounting for more than 13 million of them, Thursday\u2019s figures show. <\/p>\n

But good news<\/a> could come out of Friday\u2019s jobs report for March, which is expected to show non-farm payrolls adding 635,000 jobs \u2014 a robust bump from February\u2019s 379,000, according to Wrightson ICAP.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith state and local governments relaxing restrictions, and more consumers harboring antibodies, greater confidence and money to spend, the outlook is brightening across a number of fronts,\u201d said Mark Hamrick, senior economic analyst at Bankrate.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
