Nearly 66,000 Marylanders and over with over 500 Allegany County residents filed unemployment insurance benefits claims last week. WBAL reports a total of 65,805 Maryland residents filed unemployment insurance claims in the week ending May 9, 2020, a decrease of 43,458 from the previous week, labor officials report. Last week, 109,263 Marylanders filed for unemployment insurance benefits claims with the Maryland Department of Labor Division of Unemployment Insurance amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The unemployment numbers sharply increased the week ending in May 2 due to expanded filing under the federal CARES Act and the new website implemented by labor officials.
In the week ending in April 25, 2020, a total of 37,225 Maryland residents filed claims.
The week ending in April 18, 2020, officials said 47,545 residents filed for benefits. The previous week, 61,770 residents filed claims.
Baltimore, Montgomery and Prince George's counties had the highest amount of residents to file claims, according to reports.
Overall, 2,981,000 Americans filed unemployment insurance claims with the U.S. Department of Labor, a decrease of 195,000 from the previous week's revised numbers, officials said.
