Fifty-four percent of workers said that if the virus caused them to miss work for two weeks, they would no longer get paid.
This economic devastation is most keenly felt among low-income employees. Among those earning between $30,000 and $50,000 annually, 65 percent said they would not get paid if the virus put them out of commission for two weeks. A majority of this group—69 percent—said that it would be difficult to keep up with expenses.
In order to mitigate some of the worst economic harm, Congress passed two initial relief packages, and the White House has asked for another, trillion-dollar plan that would involve sending checks directly to cash-strapped households. The survey was fielded from March 10 to 16, as governors nationwide began to implement lockdown protocols and declare states of emergency.
Eighty-three percent of U.S. adults are at least somewhat confident in the CDC, and 73 percent are at least somewhat confident in their state and local elected officials. These trend held true, generally, across partisan lines.
