Steve Mnuchin: Record 3.3 Million Jobless Claims 'Are Not Relevant'

[UCmeNdc]

Nearly 3.3. million Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week as businesses struggling from the coronavirus fallout begin laying off workers.

The number is staggering. It’s more than quadruple the previous record set in 1982.

But the treasury secretary doesn’t think there’s much to see here. Once legislation passes, he argued, people will be fine again and the pain right now is temporary.

4. I wonder how relevant any given one of those 3.3 mln feel??

I may become one of them soon. If I was living paycheck to paycheck, I would be SCREWED. I'm sure a significant number of those newly unemployed are there. These f*cking Ratpublikans, need to wake the F*CK up and see REAL people's LIVES!
