Employment Service says almost half a million job-seekers signed up in 3 weeks

The Israeli Employment Service says that more than 450,000 people have signed up for its services to look for a job since the beginning of March.

That’s an increase of 81,000 since last night, a pace of 6,000 new job-seekers every hour, as the coronavirus pandemic has caused entire industries to go out of business.
