组图：新冠疫情期间，美国失业情况如何？
从统计数据来看，3月下旬，美国新增申请失业救济人数激增，达到690万人。此后，美国失业人数逐渐稳定在每周140万人左右。
受新冠疫情影响，美国失业率高达11.1%，已经超过“经济大萧条”时期的峰值。虽然一些州幸免于难（蒙大拿州和怀俄明州），但另外一些在经济上严重依赖旅游业的州却遭受了重创，如内华达州、佛罗里达州和夏威夷州，许多人都担心是否还有就业机会以及何时复工。在这次疫情中，每个人经受的痛苦并不对等，美国黑人失业率要远远高于其他群体。与此同时，一系列疫情救助措施即将到期，经济学家指出，美国经济正在悬崖边徘徊。比如，每周额外发放的600美元联邦失业救济金将在本月底到期（特朗普政府高级官员们正在考虑延期或更换救助方案），以及禁止房东驱逐房客的临时禁令将在7月25日到期，势必将令许多美国家庭因为交不起房租而被逐出家园。
如今，美国人从最活跃抢手的就业市场之一陷入到如今惨谈的境地，这种一落千丈的恐惧感、忧虑感与失落感仅靠冷冰冰的数字是无法体现出来的。他们排着长长的队伍登记失业，冒着生命危险寻找工作。他们想知道如果学校在秋季仍然不开学，那么他们是否还能够正常工作。他们也请求立法者延长额外失业救济补助。现在，美国人担心自己的未来、健康与孩子，也担心自己的国家。
以下是美国失业的情况。

The numbers tell one story. Following an almost unimaginable spike to 6.9 million new unemployment claims in late March, the number of unemployed Americans has gradually settled to around 1.4 million new claims per week.
Prior to the pandemic, claims had never been above 700,000. But that still puts the unemployment rate at 11.1%—higher than the Great Recession peak. While some states have been spared the worst (Montana and Wyoming), others that depend heavily on tourism (Nevada, Florida, and Hawaii) have sustained brutal economic trauma that have many wondering when—and if—the jobs will ever come back. We know already that the pain has not been spread evenly, with Black Americans seeing a much higher spike in unemployment than other groups. Meanwhile with the extra $600 in weekly federal unemployment benefits scheduled to expire (Congress is weighing options for an extension or replacement), and the federal moratorium on evictions ending July 25, many economists fear American families are about to fall off a financial cliff.
And that’s a story the numbers don’t tell. The worry, and fear, and hope, and sense of loss facing those Americans who plunged from one of the tightest job markets in history, into one of the most bleak. They’re braving long lines to register for unemployment. Navigating slow and faulty state systems. Risking their own health to look for work. Wondering whether they’ll be able to work at all if schools don’t reopen in the fall. Joining protests to implore legislators to extend extra federal benefits. They are worried about their future, they’re worried about their health, they’re worried about their kids, and they’re worried about their country.
Here’s what that looks like, as the pandemic of unemployment spreads across the country.
