John hendren chicago.

S. Is that labor economists and associate professor at the u. S. C. Of minnesota hes also a former senior economist on the u. S. President s council of advisors he joins us from minneapolis via skype thank you very much indeed for being with us wondering if you could give us a bit of a Historic Context for the scale of the job losses in the u. S. At the moment. Well the speed of the job losses and the size of them its just unprecedented and so you know weve lost about 17000000 jobs at least in the last 3 weeks and you know weve never seen anything like this that multiplied by 30 times and i think if you do some back of the envelope numbers here there are now there is a smaller share of americans working. At any time in her history back to the as far as records go more than 70 years and and how hard is it for the system to cope with that weve seen in the pictures of all the donors and people lining up to to claim benefit how does it to scale up and provide the services when the numbers jump this quickly i think its its very difficult you know this again the volume of people trying to access these benefits has multiplied by by 30 times compared to the baseline and so any system will struggle with that kind of change in volume who the systems are not designed to scale up that fast and again like never in American History if we had. Such a need for these things to scale up so fast that even during the Great Recession we lost a total of. You know it took about 6 months or more to reach the number of claims that we d reached in the last 2 or 3 weeks and so tell me a bit about the it we were on march 25th the u. S. Senate passed a 2 trillion dollar coronavirus rescue package and it was designed to to be able to kind of keep some people people on payroll is the following idea to do the numbers of people claiming benefit now suggest that the furlough system hasnt been taken up in in great numbers or will or what whats your interpretation that. Yeah i mean i think that we dont see a lot of take up of this short time. Compensation we see a lot of layoffs. And hopefully were going to be able to get more support to people whove lost their labor income and hopefully will get support to Small Businesses so that they can maybe keep people on payroll you know theyre still if we fall in a very far away very quickly. But we still could fall farther and you know until we deal with the underlying Public Health challenge the real risk and pointed you make of the new measures announced by the central bank today will they much difference will they make i think the fed has been very aggressive and recognize this. Early and has put in place a lot of very innovative measures to support the economy and is moving with one character you know with more speed than. Weve ever needed or seen in the past so you know i think congress has been moving to and hopefully will continue to move because the economic scale of support that americans need right now is is out of scale with whats been done and its just moving fast and we need to make sure that families and businesses can bridge through this time when we need them to remain idle and that they dont deteriorate so much that it will be hard to recover when were in it in a position to kind of restart get back towards normal aaronson gena thank you very much indeed to feel announces thank you thank you only as the 200 mentioned were standing by for the daily News Conference set from President Trump and at the White House Coronavirus task force is the scene live in washington will be heading over there soon as it starts.
