有三分之一因疫情失业的美国人尚未收到救济金

据劳工部统计，还有三分之一的美国失业者没有领到救助金。美国政府目前主要政策还是在应对着失业潮，根据周一公布的数据，财政部在前三个月发放了1,460亿美元的失业救济金，超过了2009年全年发放的数额，当时的失业率是08年金融危机后的顶峰。随着当前经济陷入停滞，有4,000多万人申请失业。申请失业救济金的人数从三月到五月一直以翻倍的形式在增长，光是五月后两周申请的失业救济金就已高达670亿美元。这670亿美金的缺口提醒了各州，救济金支付系统急需做出升级处理来解决当前失业人潮的危机。

Almost one-third of unemployment benefits estimated to be owed to the millions of Americans who lost their jobs as a result of the coronavirus slump haven’t been paid yet, as flagship policies struggle to cope with the unprecedented wave of layoffs. The Treasury disbursed $146 billion in unemployment benefits in the three months through May, according to data published Monday -- more than in the whole of 2009, when jobless rates peaked after the financial crisis. But even that historic figure falls short of a total bill that should have reached about $214 billion for the period, according to Bloomberg calculations based on weekly unemployment filings and the average size of those claims.  source
