Unemployment claims in California soared well above 100,000 last week, federal officials reported Thursday, a grim setback that suggests coronavirus-linked ailments still afflict the statewide job market.

California workers filed 105,900 initial claims for unemployment benefits during the week that ended on March 6, up 16,900 from the 89,000 first-time claims workers filed in the week ending on Feb. 27, the U.S. Labor Department reported.
