pamelagellerreport--2020-04-02--Record 6.6 Million Americans Filed For Unemployment Last Week

As Geller Report previously reported last week , the numbers are worse than that .
U.S. Jobless Claims Surge With Tally at 10 Million in Two Weeks NYS Unemployment Claims Rose By 520 % In One Week But It Is Still Artificially LOW Because People Can ’ t File https : //t.co/PXGytpdoBr pic.twitter.com/3pXVXnpbF7 A record 6.6 million Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week , marking a drastic downturn in the U.S. labor market caused by the new coronavirus .
The large number of claims was double the 3.3 million sought benefits two weeks ago as the U.S. shut down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to contain the virus .
Jobless claims , a proxy for layoffs , provide temporary financial assistance for workers who lose their jobs .
“ The speed and magnitude of the labor market ’ s decline is unprecedented , ” said Constance Hunter , chief economist at KPMG LLP .
Ms. Hunter said she expected that millions more claims will be filed in the coming weeks and projects 20 million jobs will be lost .
“ We didn ’ t see this in the global financial crisis .
We didn ’ t see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s been a total decimation of consumption.
” States indicated people from a wide array of industries—including restaurants , retail , trade and construction—sought unemployment benefits , showing the toll from the coronavirus is gripping a growing share of the U.S. economy .
There are several reasons why unemployment claims are likely to remain high in the coming weeks .
For one , the federal rescue package signed into law last week increases the pool of workers who can tap benefits by making independent contractors and self-employed individuals eligible .
Further , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Florida , Georgia , Mississippi , Nevada and Pennsylvania on Wednesday issued statewide stay-at-home orders .
Why Unemployment Means More Money for Some Under Stimulus Bill Under the new coronavirus stimulus package , some workers may earn more money from unemployment benefits than what they earned before being laid off .
WSJ ’ s Gerald F. Seib explains why that is the case .
Photo : Anna Watts for The Wall Street Journal Many states haven ’ t fully processed all unemployment-benefit applications due to the deluge , though initial claims were dramatically @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two weeks ago .
The largest number of claims were filed in California last week , followed by Pennsylvania , and New York .
Renee Munholand , a theater worker who helps hang lights and audio equipment for events in Seattle , successfully filed for unemployment after the city ’ s concerts and corporate events ground to a halt .
She received her first two unemployment checks , which totaled about $ 1,200 , on March 24 .
The money is helping , she said , enabling her to make minimum payments on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rent .
She said she is keeping her heat turned down to trim costs .
“ Depending on how long this goes , it could eventually start to be crippling , ” she said .
Who ’ s Hiring and Who ’ s Firing : How Firms Are Reacting to the Coronavirus The increase in unemployment claims is set to drive up the unemployment rate , which was hovering near a 50-year low as recently as February , by several percentage points .
Joe Brusuelas , chief economist at RSM US LLP , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ percentage point for every 1.5 million initial jobless claims .
That means two weeks of claims near 3 million could lead to a jobless rate of 7.5 % .
Layoffs have been particularly widespread among small businesses .
Such firms operate on lower cash reserves and quickly resorted to layoffs , according to researchers at the University of North Carolina ’ s Kenan-Flagler Business School .

U.S. Jobless Claims Surge With Tally at 10 Million in Two Weeks
NYS Unemployment Claims Rose By 520% In One Week But It Is Still Artificially LOW Because People Can’t File https://t.co/PXGytpdoBr pic.twitter.com/3pXVXnpbF7
By Sarah Chaney and Eric Morath, WSJ, April 2, 2020:
A record 6.6 million Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week, marking a drastic downturn in the U.S. labor market caused by the new coronavirus.
The large number of claims was double the 3.3 million sought benefits two weeks ago as the U.S. shut down parts of the economy in an effort to contain the virus. Jobless claims, a proxy for layoffs, provide temporary financial assistance for workers who lose their jobs.
“The speed and magnitude of the labor market’s decline is unprecedented,” said Constance Hunter, chief economist at KPMG LLP. Ms. Hunter said she expected that millions more claims will be filed in the coming weeks and projects 20 million jobs will be lost. “We didn’t see this in the global financial crisis. We didn’t see this in the Great Depression. There’s been a total decimation of consumption.”
States indicated people from a wide array of industries—including restaurants, retail, trade and construction—sought unemployment benefits, showing the toll from the coronavirus is gripping a growing share of the U.S. economy.
There are several reasons why unemployment claims are likely to remain high in the coming weeks. For one, the federal rescue package signed into law last week increases the pool of workers who can tap benefits by making independent contractors and self-employed individuals eligible. Further, states have continued to tighten restrictions, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Nevada and Pennsylvania on Wednesday issued statewide stay-at-home orders.
Why Unemployment Means More Money for Some Under Stimulus Bill

Many states haven’t fully processed all unemployment-benefit applications due to the deluge, though initial claims were dramatically higher in many states last week than two weeks ago.
The largest number of claims were filed in California last week, followed by Pennsylvania, and New York.
Renee Munholand, a theater worker who helps hang lights and audio equipment for events in Seattle, successfully filed for unemployment after the city’s concerts and corporate events ground to a halt. She received her first two unemployment checks, which totaled about $1,200, on March 24.
The money is helping, she said, enabling her to make minimum payments on credit cards, buy food and make rent. She said she is keeping her heat turned down to trim costs.
“Depending on how long this goes, it could eventually start to be crippling,” she said.
Who’s Hiring and Who’s Firing: How Firms Are Reacting to the Coronavirus
The increase in unemployment claims is set to drive up the unemployment rate, which was hovering near a 50-year low as recently as February, by several percentage points.
Joe Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM US LLP, said the unemployment rate rises by 1 percentage point for every 1.5 million initial jobless claims. That means two weeks of claims near 3 million could lead to a jobless rate of 7.5%.
Layoffs have been particularly widespread among small businesses. Such firms operate on lower cash reserves and quickly resorted to layoffs, according to researchers at the University of North Carolina’s Kenan-Flagler Business School. They estimated that up to 6.6 million small-business employees were immediately laid off when state governments in March began mandating businesses close to contain the virus’s spread.

“It’s sort of a double whammy that we’re expecting the biggest layoffs to occur for the type of worker it’s going to be most painful for,” she said.
Carol Schroeder, co-owner of Orange Tree Imports, a housewares shop in Madison, Wis., laid off 20 employees last week when the store closed to comply with state orders. Among those dismissed were workers she employed for three decades.
“I told them to go apply for unemployment insurance,” she said. “We’ve paid into it for 45 years, now’s the time to use it.” She plans to seek federal loans so she can pay workers’ health insurance and said she is confident they will return when her business reopens.

De Blasio’s plan to free violent inmates is surely his most reckless ever By New York Post, April 1, 2020: Mayor Bill de Blasio has had some hare-brained schemes in his day but surely nothing as reckless as his plan to free dangerous Rikers detainees onto city streets — amid a crisis, no less. That all five district attorneys and the special narcotics prosecutor are ripping the plan is telling. De Blasio says he needs to spring these inmates to stop the spread of the coronavirus in the jails. Yet the prosecutors blast him, for starters, for the “haphazard process” of choosing them. As of Sunday, the city had released about 650. The inmates Team de Blasio sought to let out, as The Post has reported, included Jose Gonzalez, Christopher Ransom and Jagger Freeman. Gonzalez is accused of killing Bronx FDNY EMT Yadira Arroyo with her own ambulance. Ransom and Freeman are accused of taking part in a Queens robbery that led to the friendly fire death of NYPD Det. Brian Simonsen. The mayor’s office denies the three were on the list, but an aide to Queens DA Melinda Katz (who was elected on a criminal-justice reform platform) confirmed Ransom and Freeman and other sources Gonzalez. Yes, some releases make sense — as we’ve argued before. (Close to 800 inmates have been quarantined, and there are nearly 200 confirmed cases.) But not accused killers or other violent inmates. That should be obvious. Rather, de Blasio needs to do his job and take steps to protect inmates from the virus while also keeping them in custody — and off the streets.

“Palestinian” the 21st century term for Nazi. The Nazis were defined by Jew hatred. The Islamic movement, “Palestinianism” is defined by the same hatred. In fact the Muslim world was aligned with the Third Reich.
Islamic Jew-hatred is a central tent of Islam.
Islam’s Role in the Holocaust
United with Israel, April 1, 2020: A Palestinian-American sociology professor in Wisconsin claimed that the U.S. leaked the deadly Covid-19 virus, invoking Hitler during an unhinged rant on Hezbollah TV. Seif Da’na, a Palestinian-American Professor of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, recently claimed there is no evidence that the coronavirus originated in China, promoting the conspiracy that the U.S. released the virus. Da’na continued, “More people die every year from the consequences of these economic issues than from what is happening now. This is exactly like what happened with Hitler. Hitler did not do anything out of the ordinary. He did not do anything that had not been done by the Europeans before.” Why is this person shaping young minds at an American institution of higher education?

COVID’s Non-COVID Casualties

The sick elephant in the room that the corona-living media never talk about is the toll it will take on health , mental illness , livelihood , families , quality of life and welfare .
Researchers warn the COVID-19 lockdown will take its own toll on health As governments race to stem the spread of coronavirus through an unprecedented closing of schools , businesses and travel , some specialists fear the long term public health impacts of a depressed economy and shuttered society .
It ’ s the most dramatic government intervention into our lives since World War II .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ across the globe have closed schools , travel and businesses big and small .
Many observers have fretted about the economic costs of throwing millions of people out of work and millions of students out of school .
Now , three weeks after the United States and other countries took sweeping suppression steps that could last months or more , some public health specialists are exploring a different consequence of the mass shutdown : the thousands of deaths likely to arise unrelated to the disease itself .
The longer the suppression lasts , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be .
A surge of unemployment in 1982 cut the life spans of Americans by a collective two to three million years , researchers found .
During the last recession , from 2007-2009 , the bleak job market helped spike suicide rates in the United States and Europe , claiming the lives of 10,000 more people than prior to the downturn .
This time , such effects could be even deeper in the weeks , months and years ahead if , as many business and political leaders are warning , the economy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Already , there are reports that isolation measures are triggering more domestic violence in some areas .
Prolonged school closings are preventing special needs children from receiving treatment and could presage a rise in dropouts and delinquency .
Public health centers will lose funding , causing a decline in their services and the health of their communities .
A surge in unemployment to 20 % – a forecast now common in Western economies – could cause an additional 20,000 suicides in Europe and the United States among those out of work or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of this is to downplay the chilling death toll COVID-19 threatens , or to suggest governments shouldn ’ t aggressively respond to the crisis .
A recent report by researchers from Imperial College London helped set the global lockdown in motion , contending that coronavirus could kill 2 million Americans and 500,000 people in Great Britain unless governments rapidly deployed severe social distancing measures .
To truly work , the report said , the suppression effort would need to last , perhaps in an on-again , off-again fashion , for up to 18 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the White House this week said the final toll could rise to 240,000 dead .
States have responded to the dire warnings , and the escalating number of cases revealed each day , by extending stay-at-home shutdowns .
The medical battle against COVID-19 is developing so rapidly that no one knows how it will play out or what the final casualty count will be .
But researchers say history shows that responses to a deep and long economic shock , coupled with social distancing , will trigger health impacts of their own , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ term .
Here is a look at some .
Trapped at home with their abusers , some domestic violence victims are already experiencing more frequent and extreme violence , said Katie Ray-Jones , the chief executive officer of the National Domestic Violence Hotline .
Domestic violence programs across the country have cited increases in calls for help , news accounts reported – from Cincinnati to Nashville , Portland , Salt Lake City and statewide in Virginia and Arizona .
The YWCA of Northern New Jersey , in another example , told Reuters its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 24 % .
“ There are special populations that are going to have impacts that go way beyond COVID-19 , ” said Ray-Jones , citing domestic violence victims as one .
Students , parents and teachers all face challenges adjusting to remote learning , as schools nationwide have been closed and online learning has begun .

Researchers warn the COVID-19 lockdown will take its own toll on health
As governments race to stem the spread of coronavirus through an unprecedented closing of schools, businesses and travel, some specialists fear the long term public health impacts of a depressed economy and shuttered society.
By M. B. Pell and Benjamin Lesser, Reuters, April 3, 2020:
It’s the most dramatic government intervention into our lives since World War II. To fight the coronavirus outbreak, governments across the globe have closed schools, travel and businesses big and small. Many observers have fretted about the economic costs of throwing millions of people out of work and millions of students out of school.
Now, three weeks after the United States and other countries took sweeping suppression steps that could last months or more, some public health specialists are exploring a different consequence of the mass shutdown: the thousands of deaths likely to arise unrelated to the disease itself.
The longer the suppression lasts, history shows, the worse such outcomes will be. A surge of unemployment in 1982 cut the life spans of Americans by a collective two to three million years, researchers found. During the last recession, from 2007-2009, the bleak job market helped spike suicide rates in the United States and Europe, claiming the lives of 10,000 more people than prior to the downturn. This time, such effects could be even deeper in the weeks, months and years ahead if, as many business and political leaders are warning, the economy crashes and unemployment skyrockets to historic levels.
Already, there are reports that isolation measures are triggering more domestic violence in some areas. Prolonged school closings are preventing special needs children from receiving treatment and could presage a rise in dropouts and delinquency. Public health centers will lose funding, causing a decline in their services and the health of their communities. A surge in unemployment to 20% – a forecast now common in Western economies – could cause an additional 20,000 suicides in Europe and the United States among those out of work or entering a near-empty job market.
None of this is to downplay the chilling death toll COVID-19 threatens, or to suggest governments shouldn’t aggressively respond to the crisis.
“Depressions are deadly for people, poor people especially.”
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Stanford University health policy researcher
A recent report by researchers from Imperial College London helped set the global lockdown in motion, contending that coronavirus could kill 2 million Americans and 500,000 people in Great Britain unless governments rapidly deployed severe social distancing measures. To truly work, the report said, the suppression effort would need to last, perhaps in an on-again, off-again fashion, for up to 18 months.
In the United States, the White House this week said the final toll could rise to 240,000 dead. States have responded to the dire warnings, and the escalating number of cases revealed each day, by extending stay-at-home shutdowns.
The medical battle against COVID-19 is developing so rapidly that no one knows how it will play out or what the final casualty count will be. But researchers say history shows that responses to a deep and long economic shock, coupled with social distancing, will trigger health impacts of their own, over the short, mid and long term.
Here is a look at some.
Domestic Violence
Trapped at home with their abusers, some domestic violence victims are already experiencing more frequent and extreme violence, said Katie Ray-Jones, the chief executive officer of the National Domestic Violence Hotline.
Domestic violence programs across the country have cited increases in calls for help, news accounts reported – from Cincinnati to Nashville, Portland, Salt Lake City and statewide in Virginia and Arizona. The YWCA of Northern New Jersey, in another example, told Reuters its domestic violence calls have risen up to 24%.
“There are special populations that are going to have impacts that go way beyond COVID-19,” said Ray-Jones, citing domestic violence victims as one.
Vulnerable Students
Students, parents and teachers all face challenges adjusting to remote learning, as schools nationwide have been closed and online learning has begun.
Some experts are concerned that students at home, especially those living in unstable environments or poverty, will miss more assignments. High school students who miss at least three days a month are seven times more likely to drop out before graduating and, as a result, live nine years less than their peers, according to a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation report.
Among the most vulnerable: the more than 6 million special education students across the United States. Without rigorous schooling and therapy, these students face a lifetime of challenges.

Special needs students “benefit the most from highly structured and customized special education,” said Sharon Vaughn, executive director of the The Meadows Center for Preventing Educational Risk at the University of Texas. “This means that they are the group that are most likely to be significantly impacted by not attending school both in the short and long term.”
In New Jersey, Matawan’s Megan Gutierrez has been overwhelmed with teaching and therapy duties for her two nonverbal autistic sons, eight and 10. She’s worried the boys, who normally work with a team of therapists and teachers, will regress. “For me, keeping those communications skills is huge, because if they don’t, that can lead to behavioral issues where they get frustrated because they can’t communicate,” Gutierrez said.
Soaring Suicides
In Europe and the United States, suicide rates rise about 1% for every one percentage point increase in unemployment, according to research published by lead author Aaron Reeves from Oxford University. During the last recession, when the unemployment in the United States peaked at 10%, the suicide rate jumped, resulting in 4,750 more deaths. If the unemployment rate increases to 20%, the toll could well rise.
“Sadly, I think there is a good chance we could see twice as many suicides over the next 24 months than we saw during the early part of the last recession,” Reeves told Reuters. That would be about 20,000 additional dead by suicide in the United States and Europe.

Less than three weeks after extreme suppression measures began in the United States, unemployment claims rose by nearly 10 million. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin warned the rate could reach 20% and Federal Reserve economists predicted as high as 32%. Europe faces similarly dire forecasts.
Some researchers caution that suicide rates might not spike so high. The conventional wisdom is that more people will kill themselves amid skyrocketing unemployment, but communities could rally around a national effort to defeat COVID-19 and the rates may not rise, said Anne Case, who researches health economics at Princeton University. “Suicide is hard to predict even in the absence of a crisis of Biblical proportions,” Case said.
This week, the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, relaxed its strict social isolation policies after the apparent suicides of two cadet seniors in late March, The Gazette, a Colorado Springs newspaper, reported. While juniors, sophomores and freshmen had been sent home, the college seniors were kept isolated in dorms, and some had complained of a prison-like setting. Now, the seniors will be able to leave campus for drive-thru food and congregate in small groups per state guidelines.
Public Health Crippled
Local health departments run programs that treat chronic diseases such as diabetes. They also help prevent childhood lead poisoning and stem the spread of the flu, tuberculosis and rabies. A severe loss of property and sales tax revenue following a wave of business failures will likely cripple these health departments, said Adriane Casalotti, chief of government affairs with the National Association of County and City Health Officials, a nonprofit focused on public health.
After the 2008 recession, local health departments in the U.S. lost 23,000 positions as more than half experienced budget cuts. While it’s become popular to warn against placing economic concerns over health, Casalotti said that, on the front lines of public health, the two are inexorably linked. “What are you going to do when you have no tax base to pull from?” she asked.
Carol Moehrle, director of a public health department that serves five counties in northern Idaho, said her office lost about 40 of its 90 employees amid the last recession. The department had to cut a family planning program that provided birth control to women below the poverty line and a program that tested for and treated sexually transmitted diseases. She worries a depression will cause more harm.
“I honestly don’t think we could be much leaner and still be viable, which is a scary thing to think about,” Moehrle said.
Job-loss Mortality
Rises in unemployment during large recessions can set in motion a domino effect of reduced income, additional stress and unhealthy lifestyles. Those setbacks in income and health often mean people die earlier, said Till von Wachter, a University of California Los Angeles professor who researches the impact of job loss. Von Wachter said his research of past surges in unemployment suggests displaced workers could lose, on average, a year and a half of lifespan. If the jobless rate rises to 20%, this could translate into 48 million years of lost human life.
Von Wachter cites measures he believes could mitigate the effects of unemployment. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act approved by the White House last week includes emergency loans to businesses and a short-time compensation program that could encourage employers to keep employees on the payroll.

First-time job hunters seeking work during periods of high unemployment live shorter and unhealthier lives, research shows. An extended freeze of the economy could shorten the lifespan of 6.4 million Americans entering the job market by an average of about two years, said Hannes Schwandt, a health economics researcher at Northwestern University, who conducted the study with von Wachter. This would be 12.8 million years of life lost.
Thousands of college graduates will enter a job market at a time global business is frozen. Jason Gustave, a senior at William Paterson University in New Jersey who will be the first in his family to graduate from college, had a job in physical therapy lined up. Now his licensure exam is postponed and the earliest he could start work is September.
“It all depends on where the economy goes,” he said. “Is there a position still available?”
