impacted by the shutdown. Typical when this stuff happens so nothing surprising.

First goes restaurants, travel, and similar industries. Now it's hitting casinos, Uber, Lyft, theaters, universities, newspapers, Mercy, silicon valley, and keep working its way through the economy.

We will probably peak around 20% - 25% unemployment and start to go down from there as states conitnue to open up and forloughed folks get hired back (most will not be asked to return though).

medicine still conitnues to get hit hard...for example, Michigan Medicine to layoff 1,400 people. Beaumonth Health laying off 2,500 people.

IMO, a bet of a surprise is steel hasn't been hit hard. Typical layoffs are like 50 per company range. US Steel the largest one I can find at just over 1k.

Music to a left wingers ears. The fact that it means hardship for people doesn't concern them in the slightest

Expect a significant round of layoffs when the 8 weeks required for PPP money to become a grant instead of a loan is up, rolling as various companies pass their dates in June. Lots of small businesses took that money as an option to get a look 8 weeks down the road. When the time is up and they have no customers, they’ll fold. This will be a second wave, I think.
