WARNING: The jobs report numbers you're about to see reflect the state of the economy an eternity (three weeks) ago.

Payrolls fell -701k, and unemployment rose nearly a full point to 4.4%.
It's exactly what we knew three weeks ago: The shutdown back then was just beginning. The numbers in today's report are a bit worse than we saw in the initial claims numbers three weeks ago, suggesting that hiring froze first.
It may be jarring to see in the official numbers that the unemployment rate has risen from 3.5% to 4.4%

But the reality is much worse: My calculations suggest that in the ensuing three weeks since these numbers were collected, the unemployment rate has risen to 13%.
Betsey's right: It's rare to see the unemployment rate rise by nearly a full percentage point in one month.

But more recent data suggest that right now, the unemployment rate is rising by a full percentage point EVERY TWO DAYS. https://twitter.com/BetseyStevenson/status/1246052728335470592
A truer picture of the state of the labor market right now: Unemployment is probably 13%, and rising rapidly.
