Federal Coronavirus Updates
- Labor Department
- The job market unexpectedly reversed its free fall in May as employers brought back millions of workers after pandemic-induced layoffs and the unemployment rate declined. Tens of millions remain out of work, and the unemployment rate, which fell to 13.3 percent from 14.7 percent in April, remains higher than in any previous postwar recession. But employers added 2.5 million jobs in May, the Labor Department said Friday, defying economists’ expectations of further losses and offering hope that the rebound from the pandemic-induced economic crisis could be faster than forecast. Still, job openings remain far below normal, and the trillions of dollars in government assistance that have helped keep the economy on life support may be nearing their end. The report noted that “employment rose sharply in leisure and hospitality, construction, education and health services, and retail trade,” even as jobs in the government continued their decline. “What this is telling us is that at least part of the pain in April was due to people being laid off or furloughed who still had very strong connections to their employers,” Ernie Tedeschi, an economist at Evercore ISI in Washington, said. “As good and surprising as this report was, this may just be the low-hanging fruit. These may have been the easiest workers to bring back.”
- U.S. Senate
- Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) voiced concern Friday June 5 that a better-than-expected jobs report would make it more difficult to court Republican support for additional coronavirus-related relief measures, including aid to states and localities. “If we don’t do more, we could slide right back, right back, and it could be even worse,” Schumer said during an appearance on MSNBC. “I hope, I pray that Trump and the Republicans don’t take this as a sign to be complacent. There are many more cliffs and problems coming up in the economy that we are aiming to fix, and so far they are sitting on their hands. I hope it doesn’t, but this may make it worse in terms of the ability to have them get something done.” Schumer spoke after a Labor Department report found the federal unemployment rate declined to 13.3 percent in May from 14.7 percent in April, a sign that the economy is improving more quickly than economists had projected. The economy picked up 2.5 million jobs in May, as many states and counties began to reopen with the slowing of cases nationwide of the novel coronavirus. Republicans have urged caution in passing additional legislation until the impact of previous efforts becomes more clear.
