According to Department of Labor, U.S. Initial Jobless Claims notched up from the preliminary reading of 3.307M to 6.648M, almost double the previous all-time high which set a week earlier. Such negative reading had indicated that the outbreak of the coronavirus had already tremendously damaged the economic momentum within the U.S following the U.S government imposed social distancing moves for few states.
