The estimated number of confirmed cases of the virus exceeds 67 million worldwide, including approximately 15 million in the United States, according to Johns Hopkins University on Monday. 1.54 million people worldwide have been killed by the virus, including more than 283,000 in the U.S. which came to be the most affected country from the pandemic.
Over the past seven days, daily cases in the United States have remained close to 200,000 on average, also touching almost 230,000 on Friday. Hospitalizations in the nation are still over 100,000, though deaths are at their peak.

Just 245,000 non-farm payrolls created in November came down almost half of economists’ consensus of 470,000 enrollments, while 610,000 non-farm employments were created by the U.S. economy in October. It should be noticed that October’s number of job listings were also revised down from 638,000 to 610,000.
