More Americans are stuck without work for longer:
The number of Americans unemployed for 27+ weeks rose by +155,000 in May to 1.99 million, the highest since December 2021.
YoY, this figure has surged +524,000, the largest annual increase since August 2021.
As a % of unemployment, this metric is up to 27.5%, the highest since December 2021.
This percentage has risen +9.0 points since the start of 2023 and is now above every post-recession peak, excluding 2008 and 2020.
An increasing number of Americans are struggling to find employment.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto won Games 2, 6 and 7 of the World Series. He threw a complete game in Game 2, six innings and 96 pitches on Friday and came back Saturday to throw 2.2 scoreless innings on 34 pitches and induce the World Series-winning double play. A legendary performance.
If you're not living in the moment and truly appreciating Shohei Ohtani, what are you doing?
We're witnessing the greatest player ever to step foot on the diamond.
Update:
It is the fourth inning. Shohei Ohtani has thrown four shutout innings, allowed one hit, struck out six and hit a pair of home runs. The first went 446 feet. The most recent, to give the Dodgers a 4-0 lead, went 469 feet and nearly left the stadium.
The best. Period.
