If they still have a job nothing... they fall into the same category as sick and vacationing workers

 

[OnePercenter]

I'm thinking more like 20%.

I'm thinking more like 20%.

In one month? Maybe in 4.

Around here, at least for restaurant and store workers, employers are calling them "laid off" so they can collect unemployment until things reopen. Then they will be "rehired."

No they don’t.

If they are involuntarily out of work and not receiving pay

I wonder how many of them are working from home like me?

Amazon is going to hire 100,000 people, I heard on the news. Kroeger and just about every other grocery store are looking for workers. It's temporary, I'm sure, but it's jobs. Not that it will put a big dent in the unemployment figures, but it's a help.

There are one million small businesses in the US. More than 1/2 are closed.

I’ve noticed something. And once I point it out it will be something you can’t not see. All the leftists here pose their hopes as questions. The Communist Party in China uses this same tactic. Watch their tweets asking”did the us invent this virus?

It’s a tactic to sow propaganda without being on the hook when proven a lie.

Amazon is shutting down operations of everything except essentials. Smith's (Kroger in Nevada) is closing stores for delivery and pick-up only.

Absolutely nothing. Voluntary suspension of activity to aid social separation isn't a form of unemployment because it is voluntary and temporary. Everyone can just draw from all those thousands of dollars Obama saved them on their healthcare premiums!

By now, we all should have saved up at least $25,000, remember?

Probably more. Mandated government shutdowns of nearly all businesses will have that effect.

Isn’t multiculturalism and globalism great? All those unemployed should be thankful they get to experience the diverse culture of the Chinese wet markets and their wonderful communist regime.
