California’s frail job market, battered by nearly one year of coronavirus-linked business shutdowns, has suffered a fresh setback with a sharp increase in initial filings for unemployment benefits, a new government report shows.

Workers in California filed 132,800 initial claims for unemployment for the week that ended on Feb. 6, a jump of 23,600 claims from the week that ended on Jan. 30, the U.S. Labor Department reported Thursday.
