Pandemic unemployment benefits run out next week, but it's uncertain whether people will want to return to work.

President-elect Joe Biden has nominated Boston Mayor Marty Walsh to serve as labor secretary.

Last week’s new applications for unemployment benefits were down from 757,000 the previous week, the Labor Department said Thursday.

Sanders and Biden have been collaborating on six 'unity task forces' since Sanders ended his bid for the presidency.

'These improvements in the labor market reflect the continued resumption of economic activity that had been curtailed.'

The Labor Department numbers, released on Friday, showed an 8.4 unemployment rate, down from 10.2 percent in July.

The August figures marked the fourth straight month of both increasing jobs and dropping unemployment, according to Bloomberg.

News of the weekly jobless claims follows June jobs report numbers showing that the U.S. added 4.8 million jobs in June.

There are approximately 19.5 million Americans receiving unemployment payments, which is down 767,000 from the previous week.
