Unemployment in America reaches highest since the Great Depression
In March and April, the country's authorities tried to freeze the economy in order to minimize the effects of the spread of infection, but this led to massive reductions. In May, 20.5 million people lost their jobs. The overall unemployment rate in the country is up to 14.7% !!!!
The U.S. hotel sector lost about 7.7 million jobs, retail 2.1 million and manufacturing 1.3 million.
It's a disaster!
These people need to support families, pay their bills. Where will they look for work?
