As you look at this story, please keep some basic numbers in mind:
1. US Population: 329,433,166 (as of 3/25/2020)
2. Employed: 158,130,000 (approx. 48% of population)
3. Unemployed: 8,787,000 (approx. 5.6% of employed)
Note:
Take these numbers with a grain of salt as US Population is only as good as the Census Reporting itself. The Employed # is an estimate based on 155.76 million factually employed in 2018 and does not include self-employed, contractors, gig workers etc.
