GREAT AGAIN: April Jobless Claims PLUMMET to 45-Year Low
Jobless claims in early April dropped by over 9,000 applications to just over 230,000; reaching levels not seen in the United States since the mid 1970s.
The new data shows America’s unemployment claims are at a 45-year low as the labor market continues to roar to life under President Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress.
According to Market Watch, the strong report shows companies across the country complaining about a “shortage of labor” as more and more Americans go back to work.
“Layoffs are near a 45-year low and show no sign of rising. Companies increasingly complain about a shortage of skilled labor with the unemployment rate at a 17-year low of 4.1%, making it harder for them to fill a record number of job openings,” writes Market Watch.
“With labor so hard to find, the bar for letting people go is very high, so layoffs will remain a close to their current levels for some time yet,” said a chief economist.
