The US unemployment rate has probably risen to 5.5 percent - a rate that 

has not been seen since 2015.

Nearly 3.3 million American records applied for unemployment benefits last week,

 the Department of Labor said on Thursday, as restaurants, hotels, mussels,

gymnasiums and others closed in efforts to reduce the spread of deadly coronavirus.

 The Senate passed its largest aid package on Wednesday in an effort to help

 disadvantaged American workers, businesses and hospitals during this

most Americans and additional workers' wages.

 the stock market increased on Thursday when the industry average 

Dow Jones gained 400 points, or nearly 2 percent. Investors in 

Wall Street have cheered the Senate's massive aid packs. Investors 

hope that a united fund of employees and companies will prevent 

the recession from becoming a long-term depression similar to the

 country in which it occurred in the 1930s.
Layoffs are up for grabs after President Trump announces that there

 are no more than 10 people to meet at one time, forcing restaurants

 and other public places to be closed. But many health experts say it

and prevent people from dying. During the Great Recession .. the

 worst week for worthless claims was 665,000. Last week the nation

 short are worried about paying their April rent, car payments and 

health insurance costs.
The average monthly unemployment check is $ 385 a week, which is

 less than half of the average weekly pay in the United States. The bill

 is said to raise an additional $ 600 a week if Trump signs the bill to help,

 with the biggest increase being attributed to layoffs as they are forced to stay home.
