This pandemic has had a huge impact on everyone. Many people here in the United states and worldwide have lost their jobs. Half of the people who lost their jobs are still unemployed and may not be able to get benefits. There has been trouble paying off bills such as rent when this pandemic hit us.

There have been people laid off from their jobs or who have family in their household who have been laid off or lost their job because of the outbreak. More low-income households whose jobs were laid off are more unlikely to be working now compared to wealthier people.

Even if people did not lose their jobs, they may have had to shorten their hours because of the economic fall out. A good amount of workers who have experienced this say they receive less then they had before. It is harder to save money now than before because of this pandemic.

Black and Hispanic workers are now more likely compared to White and Asian adults to be behind in payments for medical care, mortgages, and bills. Age is also related to this crisis. 35% of adults aged 18-29 and 30% ages 30-49 say it has been hard on them. This virus has caused so much damage, People have started to use their retirement money just to get a handle of things. Covid 19 has impacted everybody around the world, and has caused challenges like this.

I have seen lots of families struggling with this such as mine – Covid has hit us all. Employers should understand that although Covid may be the reason why things are what they are, they should also help out families and try to find a solution to this problem.
