3.28 million? Really?
With the lockdowns of retail, hospitality, etc. in Australia, a country of 25 million total, we've seen nearly something north of 800,000 unemployed (temporarily or permanently). This can't be an accurate figure, surely!

The US has 13x-15x the population of Australia, so the numbers will be larger. In any case, these are the claims filed in the past week only, and not a cumulative count of the total number who are currently unemployed.
