WASHINGTON - New claims for jobless benefits in the United States dropped again last week, the Labor Department reported Thursday, as the world s biggest economy continues to recover in fits and starts from the coronavirus pandemic.
A total of 473,000 out-of-work employees filed for unemployment compensation, down 34,000 from the revised figure of the week before, the agency said. The figure was the lowest total since mid-March 2020 when the pandemic first swept into the country, although still more than twice the pre-coronavirus weekly average of 218,000 in 2019.

The game will be available on Univision, TUDN, and in English on Twitter. The Dynamo have among the fewest number of national TV games this season amongst the 27 Major League Soccer teams so they will certainly be looking to make an impact when they are in front of a national audience.
