Ask HN: How to employ the 30M Americans that will lose their jobs?
Things are getting weird. I’m not sure how many people are even going to want to go back work at a normal job after a month or two.<p>A lot of people losing their jobs are people making less than $20&#x2F;hr, and right now unemployment pays more than working. In fact, in California if you make under $25&#x2F;hr your unemployment check will be bigger than your regular check. This only goes to July 31, but this sort of distortion is going to completely upend the labor market. If you made between $7.25 and $25 an hour there is little incentive for you to look for a job until July 31.
