how many out of work due to the virus?

JimmyJack
Curious as to how many people on the forum have been affected as far as their normal job is concerned?  My daughter is a physical therapist and has been cut back to half days.  Gas in her area was $1,12  and the station gave her another fifty cents off because she is a health care worker.   surgery in her Hospital has been cut back to emergencies.

    my wife is laid off . but sorta looking forward to the time off ) I retied almost years ago the company I wored for and wher my wife works as a temporary had bragging rights untill now they had never laid any one off even when times  bad or slow they allowed people to come in and work this time  many thousands will be in the lay off  from them not counting there supplier's and they have a huge amount of them .
    my DIL  had  to shut down her hair and nail salon they just had opened a short time  ago  it meant a lot to her to be on her own and have her own place she is a hard worker and struggled to get it  , I do feel for her  and she leased space to other stylist and there out also

    My part-time job has been shifted to "phone calls only" so my work hours have dropped from 20-25 per week to about 5 and most of that is employee management. Basically costing me $500 per week but since it's a part time job with no specific guaranteed hours there's no recompense.

    As I posted about recently I haven't had a paycheck job for a year, though I may go back to work if needed.   However what I was doing has been shut down.   I was going to play several regional poker tournaments in the months of March, April, and May.   All of that has been shut down.   So, I am out of work, so to speak.

    That;s right.  Her last year and It's over.   A silver lining I hope.

    I have let go 12 of 14 in the Restaurant. My Rentals are 50 percent furloughed. Lucky the house is paid for and cars are debt free. Atlanta is FUBAR

    Boeing (not my employer) somehow quietly laid off 30,000 people which I find astounding.

    Boeing indefinitely extends factories’ coronavirus shutdown; here’s what that means for 30,000 workers
    Boeing will continue indefinitely its shutdown of local factory operations rather than reopening Wednesday as planned, it told Washington state employees Sunday via email.


    I am working 50-60hrs a week & so far we are holding the fort. It is real interesting to see who are the real leaders vs who are the managers around here.

    Still receiving notices of interest income for the banks and my SSI check arrived per the bank statement so guess I'm still "employed by the federal government'   
    Same here along with a pension but laid off from my part time job so now I filed for unemployment.

    I work at a VA hospital and we are full speed ahead prepping for a surge of patients. Major bed expansion. No layoffs. We are hoping to fill some vacancies from staff the other local hospitals are laying off.

    HVAC contracting is considered essential. Some of the customers have changed temporarily, but pretty much busy as always around here.

    My income has stopped due to no social contact. Gun shows. I only get a few hundred in disability from ssi. Even auction side is slowing down too.

    Still working every day. As Marc stated, we are considered essential. I had three guys that didn't want to work, so they are on a voluntary lay off. The other 11 guys are working every day. Looking to hire two people. We are not going into peoples homes, unless it is an emergency. Mostly new construction homes or closed businesses right now. I will be honest, I'm scared shitless by this virus, with my heart and all. I am taking extra precautions with myself and my employees. So far, we haven't had many cases in our area of the state. 90% are in the Northern part.

    My job involves interviewing people, normally the first one is done in person and subsequently by phone or in person. More than half my income was from driving time and mileage reimbursement. I've been having some luck getting response from personal letters but I was absolutely forbidden to leave the house for any reason for my job (i.e. to buy postage or envelopes).

    My wife works with disabled people, an essential function. She is high risk for the virus for a couple reasons. When management kept allowing their clients to go shopping she decided to take FMLA and use up her paid time off. I suspect she won't be going back.
