Cedar Rapids Gazette: Iowa Workforce Development confirmed it has reduced the amount of data available to the public regarding weekly unemployment claims. The amount of money spent on weekly jobless benefits — both through standard state benefits and the federal programs — no longer is available, a spokeswoman said. IWD also has stopped releasing the percentage of new claims related to the novel coronavirus. This data had been released every Thursday during the pandemic through May 13.
