17.3 million workers filed jobless claims, March 1 to April 4.

that misses millions who lost their jobs but aren& #39;t eligible for benefits or couldn& #39;t file due to administrative problems.

14.0 percent is my estimate of the U.S. unemployment rate on April 4. I& #39;m so sorry.

The Sahm rule was 3.5 percentage points on April 4, that is, 7 times the 0.5 percentage point threshold that is met in the early months of every recession.

we& #39;re living many heartbreaks. more to come. it is entirely possible that @BLS_gov will publish 20 percent for April.

I& #39;ll stop with numbers now. they& #39;re grim and are people& #39;s dreams gone, gone for now.

advice I got in Sept 2008 at @federalreserve "put your head down and do your work. you know how to do it. we need your best work."

whatever your "work," health, family, or jobs, thank you
