We seem to be stuck at about 850,000 weekly claims.  And now individuals are migrating from state unemployment assistance to expanded unemployment assistance.

A second pandemic program pays 13 additional weeks of benefits to individuals who have exhausted their regular unemployment benefits. Enrollment in that program rose to 1.5 million in the Aug. 29 week, its highest recorded level. That is consistent with recipients migrating from state programs, where enrollment is falling.

BC

860,000 new unemployment claims, down from 893,000 last week.   The total number of people claiming benefits in all programs for the week ending August 29 was 29,768,326, an increase of 98,456 from the previous week. There were 1,498,917 persons claiming benefits in all programs in the comparable week in 2019.

Sort of mind-numbing, isn't it?
