California workers filed more unemployment claims last week compared to the prior week, an indication that the state has yet to recover from coronavirus-linked business shutdowns, even after a much-ballyhooed reopening of the sickly statewide economy.

Workers in California filed 59,200 initial claims for unemployment during the week that ended on July 3, an increase of 3,000 from the week ending June 26, when they filed roughly 56,200 first-time claims, the U.S. Labor Department reported Thursday.
