由于冠狀病毒引發(fā)的危機(jī),美國4月份的失業(yè)率從10.3%躍升至14.7%,創(chuàng)下1948年以來的月度最大增幅。
The unemployment rate of 14.7 per cent is the highest rate since the Great Depression, The Washington Post reported.

"In April, the unemployment rate increased by 10.3 percentage points to 14.7 per cent. This is the highest rate and the largest over-the-month increase in the history of the series (seasonally adjusted data are available back to January 1948)," the US Labor Department said in its monthly jobs report.

In March, the US lost 710,000 jobs due to social-distancing measures that began keeping at least 80 per cent of the 310 million-strong population at home.

The new report comes a week after the Commerce Department said the US economy shrank 4.8 per cent in the first three months of 2020.

The Labor Department also reported 33 million filings for first-time unemployment benefits by Americans over the past seven weeks, indicating more job losses to come.
