Last week it was reported that unemployment claims in the United States hit a historic high of 3.28 million, and now that number has doubled. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreck havoc on businesses, the Department of Labor revealed that 6.65 million U.S. workers filed for unemployment benefits in the week ending March 28. California has been hit particularly hard, with the highest number of claims coming from the state at 878,727.
