Total losses doesn’t mean anything by itself. Of those 40 million, how many have gone back to work?

If your employer calls you back and don’t go, you lose unemployment, so your comment is a non-starter.

However, most job losses (40 to 60% depending on the article source made less than $40,000 a year to begin with.

Most extremely low-paid service staff are dependant on full opening of businesses.

I’m seeing 0 to 25% capacity allowed to open in most states. That means working part-time only with hours slashed and tips slashed. Could your family survive on $145 per week? Assume 20 hours at $7.25. With no jobs mobility to get a second or third job as companies are not hiring now.
