First time jobless claims unexpectedly jump to 742,000 vs 700,000 expected
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/initial-jobless-claims-week-ended-nov-14-2020-coronavirus-pandemic-194055455.htmlBasically the crisis has hit critical mass and states are having to shut businesses down again. This is going to be a disaster for the American worker. I don't even know what's going to happen, we shutdown in the Spring and the government stepped up and helped workers and small businesses stay afloat. The same thing is happening and there is nothing for anyone. There is no will to do anything right now, the new Administration will be the first point help can come. There's more than 2 months until small businesses and workers get a single cent of help.
