EDITOR'S NOTE
Nearly 10 million people have filed unemployment claims since the coronavirus pandemic began closing down the U.S. economy in mid-March.
CNBC's Patti Domm writes that this is only the beginning. Goldman Sachs economists are forecasting another 18 million more claims in April - indicating an unemployment rate of 12.5%.
"We've lived through the recession and 9/11. What we're seeing with this decline is actually worse than both of those events," said Irina Novoselsky, CEO of online jobs marketplace CareerBuilder.
Stocks traded higher on Thursday, boosted by sharply rising oil company shares.
Crude prices surged after President Donald Trump told CNBC that the Saudis and Russians will end their price war. "GREAT for the oil & gas industry!" Trump tweeted.
Despite this welcome improvement, oil continues to trade in the $20s with millions of excess barrels pumped every day.
