Today @uscensusbureau released the Household Pulse Survey for September 16th-28th. @AustinClemens2, @LipstickEcon, @Raksha_Kopparam and @CSanchezCumming analyze how the Coronavirus Recession is impacting economic security in 5 graphs. 1/6 https://equitablegrowth.org/equitable-growths-household-pulse-graphs-september-16-28-edition/

While continued progress on extending economic relief has stalled, a majority of Black and Latinx household reported having difficulty paying household expenses as of the last two weeks of September. 2/6

Job losses are concentrated among low- and middle-income workers, who are much less likely to be employed compared to high-income workers as of the end of September. 3/6

One-quarter of Latinx workers and 28 percent of Black workers who have applied for Unemployment Insurance have not received benefits since the start of the Coronavirus Recession. 4/6

More than half of Latinx and Black survey respondents reported they have lost income since the beginning of the Coronavirus Recession and roughly a third expect to lose income in the coming month. 5/6

Most workers without a college degree are not able to work remotely from the safety of their homes, exacerbating the polarization of job quality by education level. 6/6
