1,186,000 initial unemployment claims filed down from 1,434,000 last week.  The $600 stimulus payment has now run out.

The total number of people claiming benefits in all programs for the week ending July 18 was 32,118,678, an increase of 1,302,816 from the previous week. There were 1,707,267 persons claiming benefits in all programs in the comparable week in 2019.

What a nightmare.  A disaster on the human scale.
