A new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll finds 50% of Americans said they or someone in their household has either lost hours or a job because of coronavirus, up from 18% a month ago.
And the pandemic is having a harsher economic effect on people of color, those without a college degree, younger people and those who make less money. Of non-whites, 60% said they or someone in their household has lost hours or a job, compared to 43% of whites; 55% percent of those without a degree, those under 45 and those making less than $50,000 a year also said so.
