Unemployment Surges as Nearly 3 Million Seek Benefits
The U S labor picture worsens with almost 3 million new unemployment claims and 842000 self employed and gig workers filing. Government aid remains crucial as the economy slides into a deep downturn. Federal Reserve and lawmakers debate additional rescue funds amid a fragile recovery outlook. Georgia and Florida show higher claims as reopening continues, while fear of virus dampens consumer activity and hiring. Officials stress the need for testing and health measures to support growth.
