COVID-19 is Further Proof That America Has Failed Millennials, and Everyone Coming Up After Them.
The coronavirus aftermath is just another reminder that we deserve so much better.
As the coronavirus continues to spread and leave not only a health but an economic crisis in it’s wake, a recent study on the impact it’s having offered some incredibly sobering statistics in regards to who’s feeling the brunt of the economic devastation.
According to the executive summary of the study conducted by Data for Progress,
“The financial impact of the coronavirus is hitting Americans hard: thirty-three percent of voters have already lost their job, been furloughed, placed on temporary leave, or had hours reduced, with 41 percent of those who’ve lost a job already reporting having trouble covering basic costs. Black Americans are feeling the worst of the financial crisis with almost half (45 percent) reporting they’ve lost jobs, hours, or been put on leave. A $1,200 check for adults and $500 for children is inadequate to cover expenses for more than a month for most voters.”
