Europe still feeling the pain. Now it is a new hotspot for coronavirus cases, surpassing the u. S. Six months into the pandemic the recovery feels so far off. On an objective level standpoint, we are a long wait from the employment way from the employment levels we were at precrisis. The pace of job growth in particular, more evidence that is slowing down. This is every week of unemployment claims since the crisis began. If you look at the last five aeks, we stopped improving on sequential basis. These are high numbers. Over 800,000 per week, well higher than the precrisis level. We want to see them come down. Evidence that people are suddenly going back to work. Not showing up by this measure. This feeds into the general idea of consumer sentiment. That Bloomberg Consumer comfort index comin

Mr. President , all members are present. Please place your right hand over your heart join me in reciting the pledge of allegiance. [pledge of allegiance] thank you. Behalf of the board, i like to acknowledge the staff of sfgov tv who record each of our meetings and make the transcripts available to the public online. Colleagues, i like to take a few meetings to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment.
