“#840,000 workers seek unemployment benefits<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Another 840,000 American workers app<\/a>lied for unemployment benefits last week as the coronavirus continued to threaten the US economy, the feds said Thursday.<\/p>\n

The US Department of Labor\u2019s latest seasonally adjusted figures brought the number of initial jobless claims filed amid the COVID-19 crisis to about 63.6 million \u2014 the equivalent of nearly 40 percent of the nation\u2019s total workforce.<\/p>\n

Last week\u2019s filings fell from the prior week\u2019s revised total of 849,000 but outpaced economists\u2019 expectations for 820,000 new claims. They also marked the sixth consecutive week with filings hovering between 800,000 and 900,000 \u2014 still far above the Great Recession\u2019s weekly peak of 665,000.<\/p>\n

The number may have been driven down by California pausing its processing of unemployment applications for two weeks to work through a backlog of claims and implement anti-fraud technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Continuing claims, which measure ongoing joblessness on a one-week lag, fell to about 10.9 million in the week ending Sept. 26, continuing their steady decline as more unemployed workers likely exhausted the 26 weeks of benefits that states general<\/a>ly provide.<\/p>\n

Experts fear the labor market\u2019s recovery from the spring\u2019s massive coronavirus-fueled job losses will falter if the government doesn\u2019t provide another round of aid to the ailing economy. But President Trump pulled the plug on broad stimulus negotiations with Congress this week, raising further questions about when more help will arrive.<\/p>\n

\u201cNewly reported job losses remain heavy, and it is still unclear at this point whether there will be enough offsetting new job creation to produce a sixth consecutive monthly increase in payrolls in October,\u201d Wrightson ICAP experts wrote in a commentary<\/a>.\n <\/div>\n
