The applications for unemployment, as chart published by the Department of Commerce shows that of the more than 6 million applications on March 28, these applications were decreasing until, terms less than 800,000 on October 24, more precisely 751,000 on this date.

China – the great benefited
China, which benefited the most from the pandemic, even though it had a loss in its GDP, which is still expected to be 5% positive, was the big winner.
