Innovations in Wastewater Treatment from the Zero-Discharge, Closed-Loop Experts
March 28 to 11,976,000 for the week ending April 4 in this report, a new all-time high. The latest figure sug- gests that 8.2 percent of the workforce received unem- ployment insurance that week, a rate that will increase substantially given the initial claims data. • The current expectation is for the unemployment rate to peak around 15 percent in May, up from the 50-year low in February, which was 3.5 percent. Chad Moutray is Chief Economist for the National Asso- ciation of Manufacturers (NAM), where he serves as the NAM’s economic forecaster.

The increase is partially due to the fact there was one more shipping day in March of 2020. Average week shipments increased 4.0 percent, from 7.588 bsf in 2019 to 7.895 bsf in 2020. Shipments of corrugated products increased 2.7 percent year-to-date. Containerboard consumption was 2.865 million tons in March of 2020, up from 2.596 million tons, or 10.3 percent, in March of 2019.
