Maryland Unemployment Claims Jump Back Up, Over 15K Filed Last Week

ANNAPOLIS (WJZ) -- Maryland unemployment claims jumped back up by more than 6,000, just over 15,000 claims were filed last week.

Nationally, another 837,000 Americans filed for initial unemployment claims last week, slightly down from the week before.

The week's figures do not include updated numbers from California. The state paused processing initial claims for two weeks, so the labor department had to estimate its numbers.
