Here’s some employment facts and info to help make things easier for you.

Unemployment Numbers
Another 6.6M employees were laid off or furloughed last week bringing the national unemployment # to 16.6M .

CARES Application
If you need the CARES stimulus application use the below link. Don’t try to call your local SBA or DOL office, the hold times are up to (7) days. They should create a recording like every Amazon facility in GA which states, they are not accepting calls at this time. I guess the government better not do that!
