The statistics that the government issued shows that the condition of working in America will get worse next year. The number of people who recently lost their jobs and applied to receive unemployment insurance was less than that of last week, but the number of unemployed Americans reached close to 7 million people. Therefore, the official statistics show that next year will be worse. The number of people who applied for unemployment this week was 631,000 people while the number the week before was 643,000 people. Economists stated that this decrease in number does not present any form of hope.
