Fed Chairman of the United States Central Bank, Fed, pointed out that Corona 19 faced more severe recession than any other period since World War II.

In addition, he said that he was concerned about the impact on the low-income class, saying that long-term growth and stagnation of income could be prolonged.

Citing a recent Fed poll, Chairman Powell explained that 40 percent of US households with annual incomes of $ 40,000 and less than 50 million won in US money have been unemployed since February, when Corona 19 began to take off.

price of groceries in the United States continues to rise.

The price of new groceries per month rose 2.6%, the highest in 46 years since 1974.

Eggs surged 16.1% and donuts and soda, which Americans enjoyed, rose 5.0 and 4.5% respectively.

On the other hand, the consumer price index in April fell 0.8% from the previous month, and it is analyzed that the consumption of groceries has increased instead of reducing other spending by evacuating home.

In Washington, DC, homelessness continues to grow.

The increasing burden on low-income families with a large proportion of food expenditures is a reminder that the polarization will deepen further with Corona19.
