The report draws from the country’s Aug. 7 jobs report, which detailed a historically high pace for weekly unemployment claims and a sharp rise in both the long-term and permanent unemployment rates.
These estimates come from BW Research’s analysis of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data for both June and July, as well as the Department of Labor’s weekly unemployment summaries. Like in past months, the report was co-commissioned by Environmental Entrepreneurs (E2), E4TheFuture and ACORE.
