...having unemployment jump before the election...
_________________________________
Unemployment has been going down steadily for months.
As more states are forced to loosen their shutdown edicts due to CDC admissions of declining severity and deaths, more people will return to work &/or be hired.
Looking at the prior months and the progression, one could reasonably expect a moderate unemployment rate by October.
If you think travel and business will be back to normal in the next six weeks, you are not aware of what is going on.
In the airline business alone, if there is not an extension of the programs there will be tens of thousands of layoffs in the last two weeks of October. And that is just one industry.
Covid could disappear tomorrow...and this would still happen.
NYS’s unemployment is still sky high.
But that’s not Trump’s fault.
