Last year, the United States experienced the worst recession in history, when the bailout bill passed by the federal government was extended twice, but not for the third time. According to The Century Foundation estimates, this means that about 9 million people will lose benefits before International Labour Day in the United States, and about 3 million people's weekly benefits will be reduced.
Sylvia Allegretto, an economist at the University of California, Berkeley, says this will put some people in a bad situation because the US economy has not fully recovered for many reasons, and outbreaks across the country may not fully recover for a long time.
