1.54 Million Americans Filed for Unemployment Last Week
1.54 Million Americans Filed
for Unemployment Last Week.
The U.S. Labor Department
released the unemployment
numbers on Thursday.
The number of jobless claims
was just below economists'
predictions of 1.55 million claims.
1.897 million Americans
applied for unemployment
insurance the previous week.
More than 44 million Americans
have filed jobless claims in

were added to the U.S. economy in May.
