What's going to <i>happen</i> when these 37.2 million jobs are lost? Are these people just going to starve on the streets? Do they have financial resources that they didn't know they had? I find myself frustrated whenever reading about the job losses because things are always phrased in the abstract, like "The agency expects that $METRIC will be down 40% in the next decade." I don't know what that means for the people who are actually going through this catastrophe.<p>I also seriously question these sorts of projections, especially out as far as a decade. There's so many variables and unknowns, and I'm not certain how the IRS arrives at this conclusion, and it's not clear what assumptions they're making in their projections.<p>What I really need is a recent comprehensive source on how COVID is affecting the economy. Right now all the information is coming in piece-meal and I have no idea what to make of it all.
