An additional 2.1 million Americans filed jobless claims last week, pushing the total to more than 40 million since mid-March, the US Department of Labor reported Thursday. This all works out to roughly one out of every four American workers being out of a job, according to The New York Times.

The unemployment numbers come after the US on Wednesday hit the bleak milestone of more 100,000 deaths from COVID-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus. Efforts to slow the spread of the virus have spurred an economic crisis, with unemployment reaching historic levels in the US. In April, the US job market tallied its worst month on record, with an unemployment rate of 14.7%, up from 4.4% in March.

Despite the pandemic and economic crisis, much of the tech industry continues to post job listings and hire employees. Apple, Amazon and Microsoft each list at least 2,000 open jobs on their respective sites as of earlier this month, and the companies all say they’re still hiring.

The latest round of new of jobless numbers may not all be fresh layoffs, according to the Times, but instead states working though a backlog unemployment claims.
