Pandemic unemployment aid to end day after Christmas if relief package not approved and last updated 2020-12-24 23:48:49-05 KILLEEN, TX â Millions of Americans are still struggling with unemployment, and will have even more problems when unemployment aid ends Saturday. 2020 started off as a good year for Killeen resident Bryan Brooks. He was set to get a promotion after only working two years at his landscaping job, but COVID-19 put him out of a job entirely. âBy me being a convicted felon, itâs hard for us to find a job already, but with this pandemic going on, nobody really wants to do nothing. It seems like itâs getting worse,â he said.
