3:14 am
new fallout from the latest unemployment numbers, a clearer picture on the pandemic picture on the work force. jobs considered recession proof are now on the chopping block. the unemployment rate dropped below 10% for the first time since the pandemic began. >> which white collar jobs are in danger right now? >> what we are seeing, at the beginning of the recession, jobs cut had to do swhut down. workers in restaurants, stores, tourism hot spots. now, we are seeing job kutds are coming for white collar workers, ford announced this week, that 1,400 jobs would be cuts. if not enough people left their jobs by the end of the year, layoffs would ensue.
3:15 am
united airlines, 15,000 jobs r would be furloughed. >> why now? >> in the economy, there is a major health crisis, beneath that, there is a recession going on. when we see the higher earning jobs being cut, what it speaks to is a company's pessimism about the rate of recovery. we heard the earnings calls the ceo's, they are permanently considering reducing work forces. at first, companies were talking about temporary layoffs, now, we are starting to see the
3:16 am
furloughs are permanent or even more will be coming down the pipes. >> some don't expect to recover until 2025. talk about president trump's implementing of payroll taxes, that was part of it, people have not noticed a change in their paychecks, why is that? >> many companies have been reluctant to implement the payroll tax deferment. what president trump was trying to do, signing that order august 8th, is to help americans get a bump in pay. fiscal negotiations are locked up, when it comes to stimulus checks, or that additional $600 in benefit. what he was trying to do is to allow americans not have payroll tax collected from their
3:17 am
paychecks, that means a 6.2% bump in pay. companies worry about the legal liabilities, the treasury, irs put out new guidelines, saying that companies are on the hook for those taxes when they are due on april 30th. when companies hear they are on the hook, that is why they are reluctant to implement the order president trump has signed. >> the actual unemployment rate fell to 8.4%. in many way that is a deceptive number, is that right? >> when you look at minorities, blacks, hispanics, are you looking at double digit unemployment numbers. it did come down to 8.4%, when you look at the number of jobs
3:18 am
added, in june, 4.8 million. we are seeing a slow down when it comes to the work force. much less job openings, and increase in layoffs, major red flag for the u.s. economy. >> always here with the good news, this morning. we appreciate it. >> a summer holiday at the beach, does that increase a surge in coronavirus cases?
3:19 am
3:20 am
3:21 am
3:22 am
>> the tour de france stage 9 is underway. the big evaluate daily increase since the start of the pandemic. >> and bradley is live in paris,
3:23 am
what is causing the spike, what are health officials doing it stop it? >> well, in terms of what health officials are doing, making everybody wear a mask. i am not sure why they are not wearing them in the pyrenees. police officers, remind people. if you don't, you get a nearly $200 fine. people are going back to work, students going back to schools, where they are required to wear masks, the new surge is predicted. people here in france, everybody goes on vacation in august. many take that month off. they return, they want to get tested, before they go to work and school. now, french authorities are offering free tests, with the increase it testing, you are
3:24 am
going to see more people testing positive. because are you testing a larger portion of the population. that is part of it this was a free wheeling summer for young people in france. many were mixing, not necessarily abiding by social distancing. it is mostly affecting young people. people getting the illness are less likely to burden the health care system. this is something that a lot of policy makers here, they are rejecting. including the president. he said there will not be another confinement.
3:25 am
the economy can't take it also, this is becoming in certain ways, in certain metrics a less deadly disease. the french authorities are willing to endure this problem, endure the second surge, rather another confinement. they are saying, we may wait it out. >> with people going back to school in that country, any sense of how it has been with infections in the younger population. has it been as wide spread as going back to school here in the united states? >> reporter: we are seeing most of that from older people. not old people. people in their 30s and 40s, that is the numbers we are starting to see increasing in terms of case load. it is not necessarily any evidence people going back to schools, is increasing the
3:26 am
transmission. that likely will happen. this is the back to school is a week old. we haven't seen the effects of that that is contribute a bit to the transmission of this disease. >> live in paris for us. thank you. back to the u.s. thousands of people are both coasts are spending labor day weekend at the beach. officials fear it could create a new coronavirus surge. in florida, the number of cases increasing clouds by 78%. in the weeks after july fourth. new tactics. >> on the beach without a mask is a $50 fine. they will politely say, you need to have a mask o likely give you a mask and a ticket, too. we are trying to create a culture of compliance.
3:27 am
it is not easy. generally, certainly, over wearing mask, doing other things, it is a challenge. >> people have been compliant for the most part. >> joining us now, a senior scholar at johns hopkins. people gathering without being careful. different challenges from what we saw on the fourth of july. students going back to school. more covid cases spreading across the country. how is the fall-out- -- multiple factors, labor day weekend, schools opening, and a high patue. that is a recipe. hopefully, we have the infrastructure, people are being
3:28 am
more responsible, realizes we are in a pandemic. prepare for increased cases after labor day. >> we have been talking about a second wave, some public health officials say we are still in the first wave. the second wave, it could begin before election day and crest weeks later. does that timing seem right to you? >> i think we are still on the first wave in main parts of the country. the northeast, new york city for example. as people are less able to stay outdoors, we have more transmission. less sunny, less humidity. the virus in the fall, we have to prepare for that. >> we will circle back to that i want to ask you about vaccines, we know two-thirds of u.s.
3:29 am
voters say they won't try to get a vaccine, and 1 in 4 say they tonight want to get it ever. what are the implications of this. if not enough people get- -- a vaccine people don't get are useless. it is not going to make a dent. in terms of public health, this is something that is safe and effective. in order for that to be true you have to make sure that the fda -- a process that is normal, true and tried. and leads to an effective and safe. to use this as a way to undermine confidence in the vaccine. it is the way to get back to some normalcy. >> president trump suggested
3:30 am
there will be a vaccine by election day. you have the head of the fda saying he could fasttrack one. an effort now, five drug companies, with a joint safety pledge. the details are worked out. they will -- >> we have seen it, he said he would resign if he was forced to make a decision that is not scientifically sound. the question s will that
3:31 am
emergency use organization be based on science, or like with hydroxychloroquine. i think it is essential that we do this. we will undermine vaccines for years to come, if that is the case. >> the cold weather, with a possible familiar flu -- get your flu shot, get it now. >> flu and covid 19 competing with each other for icu beds, and we wanted to keep floom-
3:32 am
this year, it may be a surge of people get it. get your vaccine in september that is fine. flu season goes until february or march, so, there is plenty of time to get a flu vaccine, the earlier, the better before the on-set of the season. >> a new report that revising the coronavirus death toll, up to 410,000. can it be stopped? president trump said it is what it is. >> none of it had to be. if we took decisive action in january, february, march. we would have the experience of taiwan. if we could protest the
3:33 am
vulnerable. if we could stop chains of transmi,z good contract tracing, we will prevent the virus from landing on those individuals, and leading to death. this is something we can change with our own behavior, only if you have the will to do it. >> thank you for your time, we appreciate you getting up early for us today. >> that long awaited book by michael cohen comes out today. start li startling allegations are in the book. how damaging could it be.
3:34 am
3:35 am
3:36 am
3:37 am
we are back with decision 2020. it is labor day week, marking the start of the campaign season. the candidates are getting back on the trail for traditional events, joe biden heads to harrisburg, pep pen tomorrow, speaking with the afl/cio. and kamala harris will travel to milwaukee on her first campaign trip. and president trump, to winston-salem. >> now, northern star strategies, served on the campaigns of barack obama and hillary clinton. they didn't think they had to
3:38 am
get out on the road, in part, because they were leading national polls, swing state pole, we saw what happened to kenosha, president trump went there first. in the pandemic, face to face campaigning matters in the way that it did in 2016? >> americans want to see vice president biden, and senator harris safe in the way they campaign. they want them to be aggressive. we are at a tipping point, what democrats need is someone someone that will get out there and seize the day. that is what we are seeing, sending kamala harris to milwaukee, and meeting the moment. you will see more of this in the next eight weeks or so. >> joe biden's campaign, specifically in the battle ground states, how pivotal of it
3:39 am
a role will they play, and do you believe biden's chances to energize the key states? >> vice president biden is putting together the obama-era coalition in 2012. african americans are the most loyal part of the base, you ensure the victory. you have to do it. it is something the clinton campaign was not able to do. what you see vice president biden doing, and kamala harris doing is honing in on the community, when asked in 2016, what do we have to lose? we are see it. over 190,000 americans dead. as you saw, we could see half a
3:40 am
million. that is a lot. >> that is a great point. we know, now, from elections, when democrats turn out, they seem to do better. from the convention al need to find the swing voters. those who didn't vote in 2016. and the base of black voters, how do you happening they have done on that front? >>. falling into the trap of chasing unicorn republicans who voted for trump in 2016, for some reason will change their
3:41 am
minds in 2020. energizing the base, the people who know that joe biden is a good man. the out reach, hone in on african americans and latino supportings, it won't be d dissolutionists. >> and one of the thorns in his side, former trump associate, releasing an explosive book. multiple days. cohen writes during the 2016
3:42 am
campaign, trump was dismiss of minorities, describing them as not my people. in a statement to the washington post, the press secretary said, michael cohen is a disgraced felon and disbarred lawyer who lied to congress. he has lost all credibility and it is unsurprising to see his latest attempt. >> he has gone to prison for it, this is something that you campaign can dismiss? >> this is less about president trump disparages women,
3:43 am
minorities, people have a choice. elect joe biden, a good person. who stick with trump. only care about himself. that is what the e -- it is not about the books, it is not about the videos, it is want about the quotes. >> there is a lot of stuff in this michael cohen book. here is another people, this has to do with russia. according to cohen, his praise of putin during the 2016 campaign, putin's hatred of
3:44 am
hillary clinton, could help trump amass more power in the united states. so, this goes become to why president trump has this relationship with valdimir putin, he can't criticize him. the president couldn't say a bard word about putin. that could be surprising, imp t impactful to the election. since we are talking about the election, that could change
3:45 am
people's support. either you believe it or you don't. what we have seen from the mueller want are, and the president trump's own sfamts, than he does protecting the integrity of our election system. things have you heard in the last four and a half years, in donald trump's own words, it is what it is. i hope they make the right choice. if they tonight, -- it could be a difference maker in november. we will see how voters are
3:46 am
leaning, 58 days before the election in pennsylvania.
3:47 am
3:48 am
3:49 am
3:50 am
pennsylvania about what will be on their minds when they go and vote. mara barrett reports from nbc news now. >> we're going to bring back our manufacturing. we're going to bring back our jobs that form the backbone of the american middle class and our country as a whole. >> people are anxious, are they going to have a job in six months or a year. we have about 40 people furloughed and the future is uncertain until the chinese competition is squared away to a point where we could compete with them. if you look around this complex. this used to be all manufacturing and there are very few left in this region in the
3:51 am
complex that we're in, there are two or three. this complex used to employee 3 around 3,000 people ands had about 300 right now. >> we used to have a lot of overtime. people used to cry, it is too much overtime at times. but very busy, yeah. but it's not like that now. >> the chinese manufacturer, they're selling those for prices under our material costs so there is no way even if all of the people came to work for free, we still couldn't compete with the chinese imports. >> the president promised to take on china. >> he was going to help the u.s. manufacturers and i think in some ways he did what he said he would do, he tariffed china but we're still looking for business and it is not creating jobs as of yet.
3:52 am
the tariffs haven't produced the results that we needed. until there is something that the government does to stop subsidizing the trailers, we need a plan that will not just collect revenue for the united states but it is also going to get pricing up to where we're competitive. >> so i've been here for 27 years, i'm hoping to retire here so i want to stay here as long as i can and hopefully our president will make that happen. we have a president now who is a businessman by nature and not a politician and he tells you that. so hopefully he continues to have the business mindset and going forward doing what he's been doing. >> my whole family is democrat and my father would be rolling in his grave. i don't see myself voter for a democrat. i think trump did a great job. >> who did you vote for. >> trump. >> i'm still undecided on where i'm going with my vote.
3:53 am
i have to hear what they have to say. it is still a little early yet. it is not just about the chinese imports, it is about the rest of the economy, it is about covid, it's about a lot of things. so there is a lot out there yet and it is still too soon to say. >> thanks to nbc's mara barrett for that report. the city of rochester last night saw the biggest protests so far in the wake of the death of daniel prude. meanwhile the new york state attorney general is investigating the case. much more on that coming up. th.
