The slump in economic activity as a result of Covid-19 has led to the biggest drop in employment in one month in its history, falling back to 2009 levels.
In April, the unemployment rate rose to 14.7%, while the average hourly wage worked increased 7.9%, to $ 30.01.
By sector, the leisure and hospitality industry has been the hardest hit with losses of more than 7 million jobs (-46.8%).
