ADAM BEAM Associated Press SACRAMENTO (AP) — California's coronavirus-induced budget deficits will continue through at least 2024, the state's nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office said Friday, totaling up to $126 billion depending on the severity of the recession. The report from the Legislative Analyst's Office says state lawmakers can expect budget deficits of about $20 billion per year going forward — but that's only if the economy begins to recover this summer.

CHRISTOPHER RUGABER and SARAH SKIDMORE SELL Associated Press Writers WASHINGTON (AP) - Nearly 33.5 million Americans have lost their jobs and applied for unemployment benefits in the past 7 weeks - a stunning record high that reflects the near-complete shutdown of the U.S. economy.

CHRISTOPHER RUGABER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — The coronavirus crisis has sent the U.S. unemployment rate surging to 14.7%, a level last seen when the country was in the throes of the Depression and President Franklin D. Roosevelt was assuring Americans that the only thing to fear was fear itself. And because of government errors and the particular way the Labor Department measures the job market, the true picture is even worse. By some calculations, unemployment stands at 23.6%, not far from the Depression peak o...
