Millions of jobs across the country have been lost because of the coronavirus pandemic -- and the numbers keep increasing -- but some places are hit harder than others, according to one report.

Last week, the Labor Department reported that in the week ending on April 18, total job losses have reached 26 million. That week alone, 4.4 million Americans filed for unemployment.

On Wednesday, WalletHub published a report that found which U.S. cities have seen the biggest increase in unemployment because of the coronavirus.

For its results, the personal finance website analyzed the 150 most populated U.S. cities as well as at least one of the most populated cities in each state.

WalletHub used data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and compared each of those cities based on two measurements: their growth in unemployment, comparing March 2020 to March 2019, and their growth in unemployment, comparing March 2020 to January 2020.

In its published report, the website showed only the 130 most-affected cities.
