There were 11,048 unemployment claims filed in Alabama last week, up from 9,468 the previous week, according to the Alabama Department of Labor.
Of the claims filed between Aug. 9 and Aug. 15, 6,145, or 56 percent, were related to COVID-19. That compares to 65 percent the previous week and 76 percent the week before that.
Alabama lawmakers passed a similar bill last year protecting doctors who prescribed off-label medications.
As part of the turnaround plan, the hospital is exploring the divestiture of non-core operations to refocus resources on acute care.
Alabama’s preliminary, seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remained steady at 2.9 percent.
Financial challenges have plagued the hospital since it lost COVID-related federal aid in 2022.
