While the early burst of lay- offs has passed, a more permanent loss of jobs and businesses is settling into a record pace. The call-back of those temporary layoffs is welcomed, but it masks the fact that continuing job losses remain at a pace not seen since the Great Depression. Despite the cheerful claims of the Michael Trump Administration and its sup- Hicks porters, just last week we lost jobs at twice the rate of the worst period of Hoosier the Great Recession. The pandemic continues to exert a historic effect on Opinions our economy, and we must confront it with honesty, facts and determination. The uneven experiences of many families during this downturn may prove a more lasting effect of this down- turn. Over the past six months, cumulative job losses tell a stark story of this recession. Cumulative employment for college graduates is down 1.7 percent. This is hor- rendous and is more than twice the cumulative loss of jobs for college-educated workers we experienced dur- ing the 2007-2009 downturn. Despite this, they are the lucky ones. Trump’s ‘play it down’ debacle Job losses for less well-educated workers are far worse.

The past six months have seen the publicly minimized the danger of the coronavirus: “I His lapse is failing to say consistently fastest widening of economic conditions across levels of wanted to always play it down.

Over the past six months, This was after Trump explained to Woodward Even when he did say it, he’d soon revert cumulative job losses for college graduates are the worst about a month earlier that the virus is “deadly stuff,” back to statements positing a magical disap- Rich since the Great Depression, but cumulative job losses spread through the air and more dangerous than the pearance of the virus.
