Americans continue to feel the consequences of the pandemic, and the situation in the labor market is only worsening. However, according to the latest data, the number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits unexpectedly decreased last week. This is a pleasant surprise in the current economic environment. According to the report, the number of new applications has sharply declined, which may indicate an improvement in the job market in the country. Economists acknowledged this shift as a positive signal. "A positive trend is emerging, although it should be noted that the situation remains tricky in the backdrop of the pandemic. We see slight improvement, but it is still too early to draw definitive conclusions," said one of the experts.
