Overall, the number of jobless claims has shown a downward trend to 6,372 million, slightly lower than economists forecast.
So far, the United States has recorded 11.6 million positive outbreaks of Covid-19 and as many as 250 million people have died. As of Wednesday last night, the U.S. Had recorded a daily case totaling 79,000 case.
