    Layoffs Are Just Starting, and the Forecasts Are Bleak
    Shutdowns in the U.S. retail and hospitality businesses may be an early sign of the job losses that the coronavirus outbreak will inflict on the economy.


    Marriott International, the hotel operator, said Tuesday that it would begin furloughing tens of thousands of employees worldwide. Restaurants, coffee shops, gyms and other small businesses have begun laying off workers outright. On Monday, a flood of inquiries from newly jobless New Yorkers crashed the website for the state’s unemployment insurance system.

      If it closes down completely then its what it is. Life could go back to normal soon, or not...
      Could understand if full payment would not be payed for a while in small companies.

      I could be out of a pay check next month. Nothing i can do about that.
      Not worried about that. Always had a resourceful streak to me.

      70% of the ZA population lives on the bread line that includes the unemployed.
      It would be one massive violent riot if they get layed off.
      Whatever

        States must start making economic plans to help businesses. But first of all, we must stem the virus. If you manage to stem the virus in a small state, then you can also help it financially. If the virus spreads across the united states, you will not be able to support financial support.

            Mass layoffs will hit Florida this Monday as most food gyms and bar are order closed.
            Try to keep busy at work as most business will slow down or close.
            I'm trying not to take any field calls as I can usually resolve the issue through a remote connection.

            Still working on a process to do installs via remote but I don't think we will be installing any machines for what looks like serveral months.

              We are now on a 32 hour week. Bonus program and vacation time are suspended temporarily. All benefits are still intact. Calls have dropped off dramatically. About half of our technical staff company wide has chosen to go off the clock. At present I am staying just busy enough. The financial loss sucks, but it would suck worse to no longer have a job when this is over.

                  Those relying on the government to take care of you, that is called socialism. Exactly what the Democrats and other portions of the government want. They will take advantage of this Chinese created situation to do what the need to in order to enact Democratic Socialism. It will get better due to them and more will rely on them. This is how it will be. We must rely on ourselves not the government for what we need. They already control your health care, now they will control what you do, where you go, and what you eat. Especially those that rely on getting their food from a store instead of yourself or sharing with neighbors.

                  Remember what happened to the American Indian when they were told the US government would take care of them. Now we have a government that are more worried about taking care of Illegal's and refugee's rather than our own Citizen's. They also lined their own pockets by giving the Kennedy Center $75 million in relief than they turn around and fire/furlough their musicians. That is not the only organization that has down this, we just have not heard about them.

                  In short the US. Government does not care about you.

                      The stimulus isn't socialism. The govt forcibly closed the economy therefore it owes us. It's our money after all.

                            I agree its not socialism to want the govt to pony up... its only natural... but with our peculiar form of capitalism... its possible for the company you work for to block your unemployment benefits... I had that happen to me when I was getting divorced...

                            I found that very insulting when it is my money... that was put aside...

                            I even find it more insulting that the country the great usa can't lend a hand when its workers are in need but can at the drop of a hat go to war and find cash to support other countries around the world for no other reason than they don't want an enemy country to get support.

                            when if they value their people half as much as they say then they will get 10 times the effort, patriotism, nationalism and dedication than they could even dream of which will spur the economic engine in amazing ways...

                            to me its common sense but to govt well we are just wage slaves... atleast thats what I think...

                            I am at part time currently and hoping it goes back to full time soon...
