Well, how about the logic behind the assertion that many workers will never recover? Where does that come from?



There is a lot of available data to support it. Google something along the lines of "how many workers live pay check to pay check". It doesn't take rocket science to find it.

A great many of the folks who are being put out of work are the waitresses, cooks, hotel/motel staff, vendors at sports stadiums. Not to disparage people who make their living like that but those are not generally well paid jobs and if they had the skills or training they would likely be working at a job for higher wages. Their rent and other overhead costs continue on even when they are unemployed, when working a $7.00 - $10.00 per hour job and you get behind on everything catching up becomes very difficult.
