By the late spring of 1944, Nazi Germany was being squeezed from two sides. Allied forces in Western Europe had slowed Adolph Hitler’s ruthless and relentless campaign of conquest and murder across the continent. In the East, the Russians were putting enormous pressure on German forces who were locked in a brutal war of attrition. Nazi Germany, however, was still firmly lodged in the continental fortress it had created, and scores of conquered nations were suffering under the brutality of their occupation. Then came D-Day. On that day, Allied planes, ships, vehicles, supplies, and men from the U.K., U.S., France, and Canada stormed the coast of occupied France’s Normandy region in numbers so staggering that they’re hard to comprehend. The most massive undertaking in the history of warfare, the Normandy landings—or D-Day—were years in the making. Supported by meticulous planning and cunning deception, D-Day was a gargantuan effort to dislodge from Europe one of the most effective and destructive war machines ever assembled. For the individual human beings who stormed the beaches, however, it was a day of chaos, terror, and death. Normandy became the final resting place for thousands. The initial punch of the D-Day landings was the start of a grueling, monthslong battle that culminated with the liberation of Nazi-occupied Paris. The German defenders, however, did everything they could to prevent that from happening. The Nazis used the wealth they plundered from the countries they conquered—not to mention armies of slave laborers they captured—to construct defensive fortifications that remain among the largest and most robust military entrenchments ever built. Those fortifications were manned by well-armed and battle-hardened German troops who fought savagely to defend the real estate they were charged with holding. The result was one of the most epic battles in human history. Keep reading to learn 50 fascinating facts and figures behind one of history’s most consequential days at the beach.

[The Most Dangerous Food In America]( [How the most common jobs in America are impacted by COVID-19]( Ellen Dewitt [ How the most common jobs in America are impacted by COVID-19 ]( [See full slideshow »]( The economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic has spared practically no one. The ranks of the unemployed are as massive as those in the Great Depression. Unemployment is predicted to hit 25%, and as of April 2020, more than 40% of small businesses say they may have to close for good. Passenger numbers on planes dropped more than 90%, consumers are canceling car maintenance appointments and home repairs. Workers fearing for their jobs are reluctant to shop. Most of those who lost their jobs in the earliest waves were employees whose jobs could not be done remotely. State and local governments are watching hundreds of billions of dollars in tax revenues disappear—dollars needed to pay teachers, firefighters, and police; keep trains and buses running; courts in session; roads paved; and parks mowed. Unlike the Great Depression, which crept up over years, the coronavirus blows came quickly, almost overnight for some. Many people still on the job are clad head-to-toe in protective gear to limit their risk of exposure. Others in lower-paid jobs, like store clerks, wear thin masks and gloves and hope for the best. Technicians and repair workers are trying to figure out how to make house calls without seeing their customers, and banks are trying to figure out how to arrange complex financial transactions with clients on video screens. To see how jobs are being impacted by COVID-19, Stacker compiled a list of the 100 most common jobs in America, using employment data from May 2019 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released in 2020. April projections published by the Congressional Budget Office indicated that the U.S. labor force will have 6 million fewer people by next January. For now, just over half the adult population has a job, the lowest rate on record. Almost 11 million people are working part time because they cannot find full-time work, more than twice as many as before the pandemic. The impacted jobs range from physicians and lawyers to maids and preschool teachers, from dishwashers and truck drivers to welders and hairstylists—none are escaping COVID-19’s wrath.
