Unemployment claims in California jumped last week, a disquieting signal that the statewide job market continues to wobble despite attempts to reopen the economy in the wake of coronavirus-linked shutdowns.

California workers filed 68,600 initial claims for unemployment benefits during the week that ended on June 12, an increase of 15,700 from the claims that were filed the prior week,  the U.S. Labor Department reported Thursday.
