How Job Swell Has Gone Busted With Unemployment Benefit Claims

As people move towards the unemployment benefit safety net, the US has a very tough economic balancing act on its hands. Second week of March saw a surge in the number of unionized workers from the service and hospitality industry filling in paperwork for unemployment benefits.

According to formal estimates, a record 3.28 million workers are said to have applied for unemployment benefits by the end of last week. The decade long run and claim on job growth, seems to now not hold good for the US economy.  There is a literally five time increase in the number of people running for claiming unemployment benefits, due to the sudden hit to the world economy as nations are forced to come under a physical lock-down to contain Covid-19 disease to spread any further.

Covid-19 is a disease resulting from exposure to the Corona Virus and is highly contagious.

Amongst the American states, Pennsylvania, Ohio and California are said to have reported more than 100,000 claims, leaving unemployment systems overloaded. Millions of U.S. businesses have announced layoffs or furloughs. Several state and local authorities have ordered nonessential businesses to close in response to the novel coronavirus pandemic, bringing the great American job machine to a sudden halt.  There is however, good news for some who are being picked to fill in warehousing and delivery gaps. There has been a surge in these jobs across the service and food industry across the globe.

Under Trump’s leadership and for close to 113 months, the US could add in jobs for disabled, low-wage hourly laborers, minorities, former inmates and others. The economy was reported healthy figures in terms of payroll growth by $22 million. Currently, two things are worrisome for the working class. Will they contract infection and not be able to seek a vaccine and whether they can have work to keep the lantern burning in their houses.

Undeniably, most economies are surviving through an economic stimulus right now, because there is uncertainty over how long will virus crisis last. A lot if also dependent on the federal and state unemployment insurance programs adapting quickly to fill the immense gaps building in household cash flows until the virus recedes.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

  Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed   global warming was "boiling the oceans,"   has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the  World Economic Forum summit  in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees."

Syria's alleged drug traffickers are warned via SMS messaging

  Text messages advising against engaging in the illegal trade have started to arrive for drug traffickers working along Jordan's southern border with Syria. Nine days had passed after a smuggler had been murdered in a strange airstrike in southern Syria when the alerts were sent. “We recognize you. Your every step is being observed.” According to a claimed transcript of the texts made available by the Suwayda24 network of citizen journalists in southern Syria, "Your meetings are being watched." Jordan is looking to work with Damascus to stop the flow of narcotics because it serves as a major conduit for what Arab authorities characterize as a multibillion-dollar trade in the amphetamine known as Captagon. The 360-kilometer border between Jordan and Syria is regularly used to smuggle captagon tablets, and the trade has been expanding since 2018. The majority of the southern region of Syria was retaken by the Syrian military from rebels backed by Arab and western
