1. The Dow is not "the economy", it's a bizarrely-weighted index of 30 arbitrary huge companies none of which had significant layoffs. 2. More useful indices like S&P 500 or Russell 2000 fell by 35% anticipating these unemployment numbers weeks ago. That's the point of markets.
6.6 million people unemployed last week.
3.3 million the week before.
Dow is up.

Do we really believe that investors weeks ago expected 10 million unemployed in the last two weeks? Maybe they did, but I'm dubious that the full impact of this recession has been priced in yet.

Of course, a lot of this got priced in during the initial panic collapse of indexes.

I don't see how investors a month ago could have priced in a likely 20% unemployment rate by summer
