For the first time in 10 years, 700,000 jobs have disappeared in the United States. However, this figure was released in March, so the situation is much worse now.

The building behind me is Washington's signature hotel Willard, 5 minutes from the White House.

It's such a famous place in the lobby to meet politicians in Washington that they call them lobbyists.

However, as you can see, there are no taxis on either side of the street.

Across the street is Marriott Hotel, a world-class hotel.

Marriott has made a temporary layoff or unpaid leave decision for tens of thousands of employees worldwide.

The US Department of Labor said 70,000 jobs were reduced last month, mainly in the service and construction industries, such as the hotel, where the direct hit was hit.

It is the first time in the United States that jobs have declined 10 years after the crisis.

One day ago, workers reported 10 million new unemployment benefits for two weeks because of layoffs, unpaid leave, and reduced wages.

The problem is that the number of jobs reduced since the declaration of the state of emergency on the 13th of last month was not included in the statistics until mid-month.

It's hard to guess how much worse it will be next month.

Over the course of the day, there were 30,000 confirmed cases and 1,300 deaths in the United States.

As a result, the Trump administration also changed the guidelines to recommend that each person go out and use a thousand masks when they go out.
