Sharky Laguana, who heads the San Francisco Small Business Commission, says his van-rental firm Bandago has lost 99 percent of its business. (April 23)The novel coronavirus pandemic continues to hammer Indiana's workforce&nbsp;as an additional 57,397 workers filed initial claims for unemployment insurance benefits last week.The latest figures from the U.S. Department of Labor show that, over six weeks, 569,847 people working in the state&nbsp;lost&nbsp;jobs or had their hours reduced because of the pandemic.&nbsp;Nationally, more than 3.8 million Americans submitted new jobless claims for the week ending April 25, bringing the pandemic's&nbsp;six-week toll on the U.S. labor market to about 30 million.While the state and national weekly claims figures continue to decrease, the latest figures still illustrate the depth of the pandemic's monumental&nbsp;impact on the economy as states seek to reopen.&nbsp;U.S. Labor Secretary of Labor Eugene Scalia&nbsp;said the Labor Department has disbursed more than three-quarters of a billion dollars to states to aid unemployed workers."Looking ahead, as workplaces reopen, we must ensure that individuals transition from unemployment back into the workforce. Key to this process will be workplace safety," he said in a statement.&nbsp;State-level figures for the week ending April 25 are not seasonally adjusted. The prior week's tally for initial unemployment claims in Indiana were revised downward from&nbsp;75,483&nbsp;to 72,397.&nbsp;Nationally, the prior tally was revised up 15,000 from 4.42 million&nbsp;to&nbsp;4.44 million. The 4-week moving average of initial U.S. unemployment claims&nbsp;was 5,033,250, a decrease of 757,000 from the previous week's revised average.&nbsp;Please support the work of IndyStar reporters and visual journalists by becoming a subscriber today.
