(Michael Conroy | AP) A help wanted sign is displayed at car wash in Indianapolis. U.S. employers advertised more jobs but hired fewer workers in July, sending mixed signals about a job market in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. The Labor Department said Thursday more than 857,000 workers across the country filed new claims for state unemployment insurance last week, before seasonal adjustments, a slight increase from the previous week. Utah's unemployment numbers, meanwhile, continued to decline.
