NORTH CAROLINA The number of new unemployment claims nationally spiked last week to the highest number since August. The jump shows the nation’s economy continues to struggle as the coronavirus continues to increase across the United States.
Nationally, 1.15 million people filed initial claims for jobless benefits last week. The seasonally adjusted number is 965,000, the new unemployment report shows.
In North Carolina, the numbers last week were not nearly as drastic. The state recorded about 14,500 new unemployment claims for the week ending January 9. That number is up from about 13,300 the week before, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
