” THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION — APRIL 2020

Total nonfarm payroll employment fell by 20.5 million in April, and the unemployment rate rose to 14.7 percent,
the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The changes in these measures reflect the effects of the
coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and efforts to contain it. Employment fell sharply in all major industry sectors,
with particularly heavy job losses in leisure and hospitality.”

Stock market news for August 18, 2020

Stock market news “The stock market just hit its first record since the pandemic started. The S&P 500 (SPX) closed at an all-time high on Tuesday for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic hit the United States. The index, which is the broadest measure of Wall Street, had been hovering in record territory for days but repeatedly fell short of reaching the milestone. But Tuesday was finally the day. It close up 0.2%, the first record since February 19.The record is a big deal, because it means it only took Wall Street five months to go from the most recent trough — after the pandemic selloff in March — to a new peak. This would make the Covid bear market the shortest in history, at just 1.1 months, said S&P Dow Jones Indices’ Howard Silverblatt. Stocks fell into a bear market during the spring selloff.” Stock market source: https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/18/investing/sp-500-stock-market-record/index.html US stock market at the close on August 18, 2020 S&P 500: 3,389.78,+7.79(+0.23%)Dow 30: 27,778.07,-66.84(-0.24%)Nasdaq: 11,210.84,+81.12(+0.73%)Russell 2000: 1,569.17,-16.30(-1.03%) Stock market data: Yahoo Finance Stock market volatility The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) closed higher at 21.51+0.16 (+0.75%).
