The number of California workers who have filed unemployment claims has fallen to the lowest level in two months but still remains well above typical levels seen before business shutdowns started amid the coronavirus outbreak.
An estimated 212,300 California workers filed first-time claims for unemployment benefits during the week that ended on May 23, the U.S. Labor Department reported Thursday, May 28.
The unemployment claims filed last week were less than the 244,400 that were filed during the week that ended May 16 and represented the lowest level since the week that ended March 21, when California workers filed 186,300 first-time claims for unemployment benefits.
