Job Transitions
This chart shows the changes in employment status of respondents who were
employed four months ago. The Fed survey asks individuals currently employed (excluding self-employment) whether they are working in the same job as when they submitted their last survey.
If in the past four months they have answered that they now work for a different employer, they are classified as “With a new employer”, and otherwise they are “With the same employer”.
Workers currently self-employed who were also self-employed four months ago are classified as “With the same employer”, and otherwise as “With a new employer.”
Number of Job Offers
13.5% of individuals said they received at least one job offer in the last four months. That is down from 21.0% in July 2019.
The average expected likelihood of receiving a job offer in the next four months dropped to 18.5% in July from 24.1% a year earlier.
Job Finding Expectations
The chart shows consumer expectations of finding a job in next three months if lose their job today.
Pre-Covid expectations were near 60%. They are now about 50%.
About the Survey
The Survey of Consumer Expectations is a nationally representative, Internet-based survey of a rotating panel of approximately 1,300 household heads. Respondents participate in the panel for up to twelve months, with a roughly equal number rotating in and out of the panel each month. Unlike comparable surveys based on repeated cross-sections with a different set of respondents in each wave, our panel enables us to observe the changes in expectations and behavior of the same individuals over time.

NPR Poll: Financial Pain From Coronavirus Pandemic ‘Much, Much Worse’ Than Expected
September 9, 20205:00 AM ET
In America’s four largest cities, at least half of people say they have experienced the loss of a job or a reduction in wages or work hours in their household since the start of the coronavirus outbreak. That’s the finding of a new poll published Wednesday by NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
Many of these problems are concentrated among Black and Latino households in the four cities, according to the poll, which gathered responses from July 1 through Aug 3.
Houston had an especially high proportion of Latino households (77%) and Black households (81%) reporting serious financial problems. But the other three cities in our survey have had high rates as well: 73% of Latinos in New York City tell us their household experienced serious financial problems since the start of the coronavirus outbreak, along with 71% of Latinos in Los Angeles and 63% in Chicago.

Yep, ours, 25, lost job in NYC. Moved back to live in the apartment that we currently can’t AirBnB (for $15K a year, empty 80% of the time). Double hit.
It will take years to recover from this.
In my neighborhood, a couple of homes have grass 2′ tall and never any cars in the driveway. I guess they moved out. Not sure if maybe closing is taking a long time or they abandoned. I never saw this in years past.

Where did you find the 11k stat?
Has the mood ever darkened for the multitude of employees at the Federal Reserve? Just curious…
CDC posts guidelines saying Covid-19 is airborne but Trump administration removes it. Who will you trust ? At least 11000 cases of Covid-19 are from people who contracted it after flying on a passenger airplane.
From what i gather. I think they have come to the conclusion its aerosolized not just airborne.
I think there is more to gather than what you have already gathered.
Where does that stat come from?
I have not seen it and find it highly unlikely that that many people would have gotten it in an airplane since masks were used really early in airplanes or that it could have been reliably tracked as to infecting that many people specifically in airplanes.
Edit:
In a lower comment somebody posted news about 11k people being EXPOSED to coronavirus in airplanes and in the comment you wrote that 11k people had CONTRACTED Coronavirus in airplanes.
Please look up the words EXPOSED and CONTRACTED in a dictionary.
They mean different things.
