"Further, job losses are ongoing. Based on gross domestic product forecasts, we project that the net decline in employment could exceed 30 million by the end of June," Heidi Shierholz, senior economist and director of policy at the Economic Policy Institute, wrote in a Thursday morning blog post.
“而且，失業(yè)仍在持續(xù)。國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值預測顯示，我們預測，到6月底，凈就業(yè)率下降將超過3000萬，”美國經(jīng)濟政策研究所高級經(jīng)濟學家兼主管海蒂·希爾霍爾茲在周四上午發(fā)布的一篇博文中如此寫道。
Shierholz noted that "as in all recessions, job loss in this recession is not being meted out equally. Many of the jobs in at-risk sectors are low-wage jobs, like those in restaurants and bars, hotels, personal services, and brick-and-mortar retail. That means low-wage workers are seeing disproportionate job loss."
希爾霍爾茲指出：“正如在所有衰退中那樣，這次衰退中的失業(yè)現(xiàn)象并非平均分布在各行各業(yè)。高危行業(yè)的許多工作都是低薪工作，如餐廳、酒吧、酒店、私人服務、實體零售店里的崗位等。這意味著，低薪工人的失業(yè)現(xiàn)象是不成比例的?！?/p>
Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics, told CNBC that the unemployment rate now appears to have risen to 23 percent. For comparison, the highest unemployment rate recorded in U.S. history came during the height of the Great Depression in 1933, when it rose to 24.9 percent. During the Great Recession, jobless claims peaked at 9.9 percent in 2009.
資本經(jīng)濟公司首席美國經(jīng)濟學家保羅·阿什沃思在接受CNBC采訪中表示，當今的失業(yè)率已經(jīng)上升至23%。相比之下，美國歷史上最高的失業(yè)率出現(xiàn)在1933年大蕭條最為嚴重的時期，該數(shù)字高達24.9%。大蕭條期間的2009年，申請失業(yè)救濟金的人數(shù)占比達到9.9%。
Congress took action in March to shore up unemployment insurance by providing an additional $600 per week to those who have lost jobs for up to four months. One-time stimulus payments of up to $1,200 per individual adult have also been sent out to millions of people nationwide. Additionally, the government has attempted to protect workers' jobs through the Paycheck Protection Program, which offers businesses funding to keep workers on payroll through the coronavirus pandemic.
三月，國會為失業(yè)長達4周的人每周額外提供600美元，以此行動來支持失業(yè)保險。全國各地有數(shù)百萬人都收到了一次性刺激支出，每個成年人有1200美元。此外，政府試圖通過工資保障計劃來保護工人的工作，該計劃提供企業(yè)資金，以保證工人在疫情期間有薪可領。
