As American workers continue to struggle in an economy brought down by COVID-19, new jobless claims rose to 898,000 last week. It was the highest number since August 22 and represented a gain of 53,000 from the previous week's upwardly revised total of 845,000.  (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
New York CNN Business  — 

A year ago, the Covid-19 pandemic slammed the US economy, businesses shuttered and more than 22 million American jobs vanished between March and April.

Even though the economy has started on its long and hard path to recovery, adding back many of those lost jobs, millions of workers continue to struggle. As of February, America was still down 9.5 million jobs compared to the year before.

If you lost your job because of the pandemic and remain out of work, we want to hear from you.
