Industrial Fundamentals Remained Relatively Healthy

The COVID-19 pandemic took center stage at the end of the first quarter, hitting the U.S. economy hard. During the six weeks to the end of April, 30.3 million initial jobless claims were filed, pushing the unemployment rate close to 20%. There was some good news for the industrial sector, however, as a strong Q4 2019 and beginning of Q1 2020 helped mitigate some of the impact to industrial properties.
