Following a week where first time unemployment hit 925,000, last week's numbers look sort of positive, coming in at 900,000.
Granted even that number doesn't tell the real story. The Department of Labor continues to drag their feet to adjust for gig workers/ self-employed workers who file claims under Pandemic Unemployment Assistance. That number hit 424,000 for the week - the accurate total for last week comes in at 1.324 million.
