After the US employment rate has been skyrocketing amidst the novel coronavirus lockdowns, economists were pleased that their more dire forecasts were wrong, when the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) issued an encouraging report for the month of May.

Economists originally anticipated jobless numbers to top 20% in May, but the total now estimated by the bipartisan career officials in the BLM fell to an estimated 16.3%.
