US economy loses 20.5 million jobs in April, raising unemployment rate to 14.7%
The impact of the coronavirus-induced economic shutdown tore through the U.S. labor market in April at historic levels, slashing 20.5 million workers from nonfarm payrolls and sending the unemployment rate skyrocketing to 14.7%, the Labor Department reported Friday.

Both numbers easily smashed post-World War II era records and help reflect the profound damage done through efforts used to combat the virus.


Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been expecting payrolls to shed 21.5 million and the unemployment rate to go to 16%. April’s unemployment rate topped the post-war record 10.8% but was short of the Great Depression high estimated at 24.9%. The financial crisis peak was 10% in October 2009.


A more encompassing measure that includes those not looking for work as well as those holding part-time jobs for economic reasons also hit an all-time high of 22.8%. That reading may be a more accurate picture of the current jobs situation as millions of workers are being paid to stay home and thus not willing or able to look for new jobs.

The jump in the “real” unemployment rate reflected a plunge in the labor participation rate to 60.7%, its lowest level since 1973.

The April numbers represent a stunning reversal for a jobs market that had been on fire only two months ago. February saw a payroll gain of 230,000 that was high for a recovery that lasted nearly 11 years. The month’s total was revised down 45,000. March’s initially reported loss of 701,000 also was pulled down further, to 870,000.


In all, the rolls of the unemployed surged to 23.1 million, a jump of 15.9 million over March.

The unprecedented jump in joblessness came largely due to part-time layoffs. Those who said they lost their jobs temporarily surged 10-told to 18.1 million, while those reporting permanent losses more than tripled, from 544,000 to 2 million.

Full-time workers fell by 15 million for the month while part-timers plunged by 7.4 million.

As expected, the biggest hit was to the leisure and hospitality industry, which lost 7.7 million workers, 5.5 million of whom came from eating and drinking establishments.

Education and health services lost 2.5 million, while professional and business services as well as retail both saw 2.1 million workers lose their jobs.
