10.

I'm Carla Zeus, the U.

S.

Department of Labor says last week.

Initial jobless claims spike to 3.28 million Here's what that means.

According to investor PBIA, this is a number of people who ask the government for unemployment benefits because they've lost their jobs in layoffs or business cutbacks.

If they meet the requirements for getting help, the government will pay part of their income for a limited amount of time and initial jobless claims counts.

Those who request these benefits for the first time.

The Labor Department's been keeping track of the statistics since 1967.

It's a major indication of how the U.

S economy is doing, and this is the first time that initial jobless claims have ever increased by 3.28 million.

The previous record in 1982 was less than 700,000 so this reflects how quickly the Corona virus pandemic has caused businesses to temporarily shut down in most American industries.

The silver lining is the word temporarily.

Yes, economists are expecting millions of job losses in the weeks ahead, but they also expect the economy to get better later this year as the spread of Cove in 19 slows down.

And U.

S Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says the surgeon unemployment claims was recorded before Congress passed an economic stimulus bill, which he said would help workers on the front lines of this pandemic are being held as heroes.

We told you how people in several countries are appointing healthcare providers Now.

Some grocery store employees are being recognized for their risks and hard work.

We're keeping our stores open to serve the American consumer.

They're stocking up their stores like that, Deva Stockton, before, and create an environment that's safe for our team members, making sure they feel supported during this very critical times.

Here is one toe look in the morning on all that makes people here working hard.

Sorry, Michelle, For starters, the thing about it is this unprecedented health crisis in this country right now and myself.

Along with now, 100,000 grocery workers in this country are on the front lines.

And I mean, it's what we do.

It is what it is and always said we've been thrust into the role of being a would be called a central personnel.

The customers are buying three and $400 worth of groceries.

I just had some And so I was stocking and I couldn't even get it off of our cart and onto the shelf.

Four people were already like ripping into boxes and taking it.

You store opens at 6 a.m. Trusted believed when you pull up at 6 a.m. This people, they're people shopping and want to know Case, do you have this?

When will you have this?

Where's the next delivery?

I can just say this much.

I've worked for Kroger 13 years, and this is the absolute worst I have ever seen it.

You haven't dealt with this amount of like shortages and workers to a lot of folks are just calling out because they don't feel safe, which is totally reasonable.

E get into this point.

It is what it is this my job and only thing I could do is just started taking aggressive approach to wash my hands that do the social distance and then everything that they're asking us to do.

The manager asked all the workers to try to stay at least six feet away from each other.

But we can't stay six feet away from the customers so constantly having Thio tell myself, Don't touch my face washing my hands frequently, trying to keep six feet away from people.

We know where he lives to protect our hands, and we sanitize our hands in between each customer's.

But for the most white man, I could really, really save my customers in there.

They've been thinking ever since a man.

Thank you for coming out here, man.

Thank you for all you've been doing.

Quite a few customers thank me for being here working, and they a lot of them understand what's normal right now.

They have a good relationship with most of the customers, and they understand.

You know, that makes you feel good about it.

In that a day that people really appreciate that what you're doing.

Retail workers have always been undervalued, underpaid right Now we're seeing where they are, basically holding their the glue right now.

And I feel every grocery work in the United States of American.

I know I speak to them.

I mean, you know, just be cautious and be safe.

Nicaragua, Panama, El Salvador, Guatemala, Lotto Day Nicaragua or Lake Nicaragua is located in southwest Nicaragua.

Like any country, Nicaragua has its share of struggles.

It's the poorest country in Central America.

And there've been widespread protests against the government in recent years.

But it's also rich in history, rich and beauty and rich and activities.

It's gonna peel to beachgoers and people who want outdoor adventures, but it's also a country with a lot of history.

So if you go to a place like Leone and Granada, you're gonna find history at every corner.

It's also a spot for for poetry lovers.

You know, this is a nation of poets of Ruben Dario, Alfonso Cortez.

So that's a big draw for a lot of people.

A small region along the west coast called the Pacific Lowlands has a taste of all these highlights.

One great draw is the Lago Day.

Nicaragua, the largest lake in Central America, and Honest esta o matey pay an island boasting to large volcanoes.

Vulcan, Maderas and Vulcan Concepcion.

The volcanoes are great spots for hiking, but be sure to take a guide to avoid getting lost.

The volcanoes, the main activity, the main draw that people are gonna be hiking up.

And while you might not think of Nicaragua as a destination for snowboarders, just outside the historic town of Leone is Cerro Negro Ah, volcano, where extreme sports enthusiasts can hike up and volcano board down the ash on the slopes.

American Bison, a k a.

Buffalo's, can grow to be 6.5 feet tall and weigh £2000.

So when I heard approached ke TV EMS Dion Broxton while he was reporting at Yellowstone National Park.

Oh my God, Oh, no, He wasn't messing with it.

After socially distancing himself, he shot this video of the animals that had gotten too close.

Yellowstone says Broxton did the right thing.

The closest I've been to Bison is at Ted's Montana Grill.

But if one never got ox noxious in person, I also would have said by son, because while they may be vegetarians, it's still wise to hoof it.

No one wants beef with a buffaloed of trouble that could ruin your whole Bowman Day.
