Authorities in many states across the country implemented mandatory closures of nonessential businesses and social distancing orders to reduce the spread of the coronavirus. While preventative measures like these have beencredited for flattening the curve and ultimately saving lives, they have come at a major cost to the economy and the workers who keep it running. With businesses being forced to close and people hunkered down at home, many employers have had to lay off or furlough entire swaths of their workforce. Applications for unemployment surged by3,000% in March, with some30.3 million jobless workers filing for benefits by the end of April. Millions of other workers who lost their jobs haveyet to receive unemployment compensation due to the complicated, glitch-riddled process of applying through their states’ overwhelmed systems. A lack of paycheck and worries about receiving benefits are contributing to the stress that 9 in 10 Americans feel about their finances during the pandemic. The situation doesn’t fare much better for many of the low-income workers deemed essential, such as grocery store clerks, health care workers, and delivery drivers. They have struggled to get the personal protective equipment they desperately need to stay safe at work. With layoffs looming, some clock in every day wondering if it will be their last day at that job. The exposure to the coronavirus has sickened and even killed untold numbers of workers. It’s going to be a long time before we truly understand the toll the coronavirus has taken on employment in the U.S., but some recent statistics related to workers paint a grim picture.
