16.8 million Americans filed new claims for unemployment insurance in the last 3 weeks.

Another 6.6m new claims for unemployment insurance for the week ending 4/4 and the prior week revised up from 6.6m to 6.9m.

Of the 155.2 million Americans employed in mid-March, 11% have since filed new claims for unemployment insurance.

Moving these 16.8m from employed to not employed and assuming everything else the same (this is not true but you can plug in your own assumptions), the share of adults employed fell from 59.7% to 53.3% in 3 weeks.

In data that go back to 1948, the lowest share of Americans ever employed is 54.9% in Oct 1949.

So, unless at least 4.1 million Americans were hired over that time, we are at a record low employment-to-population ratio.

We don't have official data on hiring more-current than Feb #JOLTS. Best case, assuming rate continued => 4.3m hires over 3 weeks. That's too optimistic. Evidence points to slower hiring.

Also 16.8m new UI claims is a lower-bound on job losses. https://twitter.com/ranimolla/status/1246063181832863752
