More American Workers Have Filed for Unemployment Than Live in the 10 Largest Cities in the U.S.

More workers in the U.S. have now applied for unemployment benefits in the past five weeks than the total number of people who reside in the country's 10 largest cities.
在過去的5周里，申請失業救濟的美國工人數量超過了美國十大城市的居民總人數。
The Department of Labor released its latest report Thursday morning on the number of new jobless claims filed last week, showing that an additional 4.4 million workers submitted new claims. That brings the five-week total from the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic to 26.4 million, or more than all the jobs created since the Great Recession of 2008 and 2009.
周四上午，勞工部發布了關于上周首次申請失業救濟金人數的最新報告，報告顯示，這一數字已達到440萬。這使得5周來新冠疫情造成的經濟影響波及到2640萬人，超過了2008年和2009年大衰退之后增加的就業崗位數量。
To put that number in perspective, 26.4 million people is larger than the number of people that live in the country's 10 biggest cities combined. According to the latest government Census Bureau estimates from 2018 New York City (8.4 million), Los Angeles (4 million), Chicago (2.7 million), Houston (2.3 million), Phoenix (1.7 million), Philadelphia (1.6 million), San Antonio (1.5 million), San Diego (1.4 million), Dallas (1.3 million), and San Jose, California (1 million), have a combined population of about 25.9 million.
從客觀的角度來看這一數字，2640萬人比美國十大城市的居民總人數還要多。2018年美國人口普查局最新調查估計，紐約市人口為840萬人，洛杉磯人口為400萬人，芝加哥人口為270萬人，休斯敦人口為230萬人，菲尼克斯人口為170萬人，費城人口為160萬人，圣安東尼奧人口為150萬人，圣迭戈人口為140萬人，達拉斯人口為130萬人，加州圣何塞人口為100萬人，共計2590萬人。
There are also now more people in the U.S. who have filed for unemployment than the population of each individual state, with the exception of California and Texas. The largest state, California, has nearly 40 million residents, according to 2019 census estimates. Texas has about 29 million people. Florida, the third largest state by population, has about 21.5 million residents, which is nearly 5 million fewer than the total number of people who have filed for unemployment nationwide during the coronavirus pandemic.
如今，美國申請事業救濟的人數已超過除加州和得州外各州的人口。2019年美國人口普查估計，人口最多的加州擁有4000萬居民，德州約有2900萬。人口第三大的佛羅里達州有2150萬居民，比疫情期間申請失業救濟的總人數少了近500萬。
