At least 16.6 million Americans have lost their jobs since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, the Daily Beast website reports today (April 9, 2020).
The weekly jobless numbers from the Department of Labor showed an additional 6.6 million Americans filed claims last week.
The two previous weeks saw around 10 million claims, so the total number has now soared way above 16 million.
About one in 10 working Americans have lost their jobs in just the past three weeks.
