The unemployment rate was 3.5% before the virus shut down economies across the globe. It is now 14.7%. And 20.5 million jobs were lost in April! Call your elected leaders and demand #directcashrelief #UBICreatesJobs https://t.co/fIk32KK7m2

Worst jobs report since the Great Depression
Unemployment is now at 14.7%
All because Trump treated Covid like a magically disappearing hoax#TrumpDepression #FridayFeelinghttps://t.co/2V0MpgWKHY
This was preventable. Even if some of these jobs come back when some things reopen, the unemployment % isn't going back down to what it was for a long time. If Trump had been prepared, not cut vital pandemic programs, and had acted#TrumpDepression

Reminder: the stock market is not the economy. 20.5 mil jobs lost, but "Wall Street set to open higher as global markets rally."

Unemployment is at its highest since the Great Depression, and stocks are… going up. ?

Either the unemployment is very temporary, or the stock market is not reflective of our economic state. https://t.co/xcB2YA2CVL

Oklahoma workers and families are hurting. The unemployment assistance and stimulus checks we passed in the CARES Act were a start, but we have work to do helping Americans back on their feet. These programs aren't a hand out - they are a hand up. https://t.co/nmuFbG7tMK

米国の4月の失業者の76.3%が「一時解雇」だそうだ。一方で900万が「解雇されていないが働けてもいない」状態でこれを入れると失業率は約20%になると。
— たかやま@Takayama.O (@takayama70) May 8, 2020
各失業率
黒人 16.7%
ヒスパニック 18.9%
白人 14.2%
女性 16.2%
男性 13.5% https://t.co/lc031RjPdC
These are some pretty scary figures considering that our gov is failing the working class, and would rather bail out wealthy capitalists.

A lot of people are hurting right now, and it is clear that the working class is not the priority of our leaders. https://t.co/3WrAZgiZKV
