    Default U.S. unemployment claims drop below 500k for 1st time since COVID. God bless Biden

    U.S. unemployment claims drop below 500,000 for first time since pandemic as hiring surges.


    Published: May 6, 2021 at 8:48 a.m. ET By Jeffry Bartash

    Layoffs are falling and job creation is accelerating as the economy gathers strength

    The numbers: Applications for U.S. unemployment benefits fell below 500,000 in early May for the first time since the onset of the pandemic, pointing to an upsurge in hiring as companies race to beef up staff as the economy builds momentum.

    Initial jobless claims in the states sank 98,000 to 498,000 in the seven days ended May 1, the government said Thursday. It was the fourth decline in a row.

    Economists surveyed by Dow Jones and The Wall Street Journal had forecast new claims to total a seasonally adjusted 527,000.

    An additional 101,214 applications were filed through a federal pandemic-relief program.

    Adding up new state and federal claims, the government received 605,884 applications last week for unemployment benefits, based on actual or unadjusted figures. That’s also a fresh pandemic low.

    Unemployment claims are still two and a half times higher compared to the last month before the pandemic. The number of applications had been running in the low 200,000s before the viral outbreak.

    What happened: New applications for jobless benefits fell the most in Virginia, New York, Florida, California and Oklahoma . Kentucky was the only one to post a sizable increase.

    The number of people already collecting state jobless benefits, meanwhile, actually rose by 37,000 to a seasonally adjusted 3.69 million. The increase is likely to unwind next week based on current trends, however.

    yes, the economy is finally coming back, mostly because of Trump's acceleration of the vaccine programs. Biden has done nothing for the economy, except increase the debt by massive amounts.

    Just like Trump was holding Democracy back, especially on January 6th.

    What exactly did Joke do that can be attributed to that decrease? Vaccines for China Disease? That was Trump. End lockdowns and restrictions on businesses? Republican governors. What did Biden do exactly?

    Hey everybody. Check out the latest conspiracy theory that this moron has swallowed.
    I bet most TrumpTards don't even believe this Whopper.

    It is quite amusing though. TrumpTards delusions know no bounds.

    then explain why the capital invasion occurred precisely when the congress was about to review the evidence of vote fraud in several states. Explain how the Trump supporters were listening to his speech and attacking the capital at the exact same time.

    you socialists pulled off a coup, you are destroying this country with your senile president and his call girl VP. Hitler and Mao are proud of you fools.
