Unemployment Surges: Weekly Jobless Claims Reach 231,000, Highest Level in Months
The Rise in Jobless Claims Signals Potential Economic Slowdown
The recent surge in jobless claims comes on the heels of several positive hiring reports, although April’s hiring numbers fell short of expectations. Additionally, there has been a decrease in job openings, indicating a potential slowdown in the labor market for the rest of the year.
According to the latest data, continuing claims, which lag by a week, have risen to 1.78 million, marking a 17,000 increase from the previous week. The four-week moving average of claims, designed to smooth out weekly fluctuations, has also seen an uptick to 215,000, up by 4,750 from the previous week.

SYRIZA – PS / Extraordinary tax of 90% on the surplus profits of refineries and banks
With the SYRIZA law proposal to deal with accuracy, Mitsotakis is asked to prove whether he is with society or with the speculators
Taxing the excess profits of oil companies and banks is the main tool of the official opposition’s plan to reduce prices and deal with the huge consequences of the oil crisis in the country. And this is because, firstly, “skyrocketing” profits must be taxed in order to support society at a time when extensive accuracy dominates, emptying the pockets of citizens, and, secondly, it is not possible for a few to profit off the backs of the many. After all, this is also the main answer to critics, such as the government, about “where you will find the money to reduce indirect taxes”.
The reduction of the VAT on food and the VAT on fuel constitute the second main pillar of the plan with the aim of “passing” the reduction in prices and easing the monthly income of citizens. Also, the next key pillar is to put a ceiling on the profit margin along the entire transport line of the products: from their import from abroad or their domestic production until they reach the final consumer. At the same time, the support of the farmers is an additional element of the law proposal of the official opposition to the government of N.D.
With the proposed law, SYRIZA-P.S. submits a holistic plan to address the exactness and suppression of the mechanisms of profiteering that create and feed back the phenomenon,

POVERTY INDICES – The World Bank is worried about the South
| The south of the Big Island has long been plagued by a multi-year drought. |
The South of the Big Island is plagued by extreme poverty. According to the World Bank, this is due to a lack of investment, but also to the effects of climate change.
Chronic poverty. It turns out that the Anosy, Androy and Atsimo-Andrefana regions concentrate the highest rate of poverty. Nearly 91% of the population of the Great South lives below the poverty line. A situation which disadvantages these localities, which nevertheless have rich potential.
In a report on poverty dated April, the World Bank attributes this situation to “chronic underinvestment” by successive governments. This neglect has caused the region to lag significantly behind the rest of the country, according to the financial institution. However, other factors also contributed to this situation.
Other factors hinder the development of the South of
