In New York, where the spread of the new coronavirus was the most serious in the United States, it has been six months since the so-called lockdown measures were taken to severely limit economic activity.

Although the spread of the infection has been suppressed, the unemployment rate has been severely affected, including the worst level in the United States.

However, with the spread of the infection again in the southern and western parts of the United States, economic activity has hardly resumed since then.

For this reason, the unemployment rate last month was 8.4% in the United States as a whole, but it was 12.5% ​​in New York State and 16% in New York City, which is the worst level in the United States. Is increasing.

In addition, the resumption of face-to-face classes at public elementary and junior high schools has been repeatedly postponed, and the impact of education continues.

Population outflows are occurring in response to the worsening economic situation, and it is expected that it will take a considerable amount of time for New York's economy to recover.
