according to bureau of labor statistics, the economy lost 701,000 jobs in march. the unemployment rate, shooting up to 4.4%. it is the worst month for american jobs since 2009, in the depths of the great recession. and experts say the worst is still to come. joining me now is cnn business anchor richard quest. richard, hello. good evening. today's report was very, very bad. and this is just a sign of things to come. >> absolutely, unfortunately, don. the report that you are looking at deals with, primarily, the first, say, two to three weeks of march. it doesn't take account of all the serious job losses that will have happened at the back end of the month as more shutdowns and lockdowns continued across the united states. every economic report i read today from goldman, from bank of america, from j.p. morgan, they all said the same thing. that next month will be far worse, far worse, because this is when we're going to see -- in other words, the month we're in now. when we get those, at the beginning of may, then we'll really see exactly the depths. so in terms o

of the labor force. arewe see how women comprising a majority of the service industry. seeing the unemployment rate impacting women. i want to go back to, the unemployment labor statistics -- the bureau of labor statistics mentioned that women were comprising the majority of the labor force. the other component, because of pay disparity, women were taking on two or three jobs in order to make ends meet. now we find ourselves, women are bearing the brunt of this economic downturn and it is unfortunate because because they are also in the service industry , in many situations, they may be deemed essential workers. they are overly exposed to situations with covid. there are factors impacting women in disproportionate way. we are concerned about that. the united nations just issued a report of how we need to make women and girls at the center of this covid situation and how we need to put them at the center in order to help them. it is women who are bearing a lot of this. the other thing i want to underscore, we provide childcare and we have -- for health-care workers. and i want to make sure we are not only talking about just nurses and doctors. we are also talking about everyone who wo

are present, over 700,000, is basically the number of jobs lost in march according to the bureau of labor statistics. do you have an idea of how many government jobs in march? guest: at this point, we don't have that number. most of the building facilities are still working. we have our veterans administration still working, tsa still working. we have some personnel that are teleworking. there are certainly not enough people working from home. every day they are facing the threat of contracting this virus. host: how do you think that might change the federal workforce given so much done from home now? guest: i think that in many cases we are still able to get the job done. we advocate for a teleworking in many instances because we are able to complete the job and do it well. i don't see that it will affect the ability to get the services done. host: our guest is everett kelley, the president of the american federation of government employees. we are talking about the coronavirus. we welcome your calls.

that's when we'll put out what the national unemployment rate is according to our bureau of labor statistics is, we know that it's just higher than the president wants and the american people want and that we need to continue to take measures both to provide support to americans that have been put out of work and also do all that we can to reopen the economy. the president laid out a plan for that last week. we're seeing a number of states making their way toward that. and in the meantime, we also want to do what we can to keep employees attached to their employer. as you know, this week the congress passed and the president signed the paycheck protection legislation to refund that program. it's a program that i've been supportive of because i like the way it keeps employers and employees connected so that as we're safe to reopen in various states, they're better positioned to get back to work. which is, we know, what people want to do. maria: some people feel like the unemployment benefits, the $600 that you just mentioned, is actually this flat fee cannot be one size fits all because depen

the bigger the lies and we're suffering from systematically lying from the fed and the bureau of labor statistics and others on down to the point where people are unable to plan the currency itself is so graphic catastrophic lee debased that we didn't know what it means anymore and it's by design a nerd and then replace this dollar that's essentially a used dish rag by something digital nontransparent auditable and turn off of will for lack of a better word visa via the block chain within the next several years because the powers that be know what they what they're doing. they've known that all of the dollar per se is going to have a shelf life to it that's why we went off the gold standard back in $71.00 and that's not coincidentally the timing of that with regard to you know gradually dissipating. you know lifestyles and hollowing out of the middle class is because the currency itself is not ok alexandria one of the things that touched upon it already in this program but you know i think it's something we should be really worried about is the generation they're indebtedness and their prospects

there was a report last week about -- by the bureau of labor statistics suggesting the unemployment rate for weeks ago was 4.6%. if we just that adjust those numbers for the claims that have come in the last two weeks, more claims will be coming in while i am on that program -- this program, the real unemployment rate is probably in the ballpark of 10% to 14%. the unemployment rate today is probably as high as since the great depression and experts think it might go higher. janet yellen said this week she thinks unemployment could reach great depression levels by the time this is all said and done. the unemployment rate could get .nto the ballpark of 20% to 25% forecasters have suggested the economy will contract on a year-over-year basis as much as 6%. what is not known now is how we will experience a recovery once we suppress the pandemic. in other words, will we experience a v-shaped recovery like your favorite vacation spot on memorial day weekend, or a w shaped recovery where we come back out of it and go back into it sometime this fall, or will we experience an l-shaped recovery wh

manufacturing has shut a lot of jobs and if you look at the united states according to the bureau of labor statistics almost all of the new jobs are created in numerous receptors read its leisure and hospitality, leisure and healthcare. and according to the us government of the top 10 jobs that are being created in numerical terms, only registered nurse requires any education beyond high school diploma, so the story that we are told at davos and aspen and not here obviously is the jobs of the future require an advanced education. actually they don't. americans and their counterparts in europe are underpaid. they are not overeducated in my argument in the new class war is the underpaid bargaining power of the kind that they 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago. >> thing that i haven'tquite understood yet from the conversation is the war part . we can buy that there's an educational system that preferences people of degrees we can buy the idea of certain industries over others but where's the war? a war suggest there's a group of people, the elite not only looking down on the working-class trying to harm them to b

our industry is large, pure the bureau of labor statistics. many people are struggling with the online economy. we help provide unique experiences and one of the key reasons if you ask sf travel why tourists will fight for visiting san francisco is to go and sit and dine-in restaurants. so now we switch to a more negative set of news here. our brick and mortar industry, our restaurant industry in san francisco is in a serious state of decline from my perspective. five supervisors sat in and helped to host this and 41 restaurants showed up, that we thought that the decline, the more closures versus openings and san francisco in 2018 were 9%. there's between 2,000 square feet and greater than 2,000 square feet. to give you numbers behind that, what are we talking about, 536 restaurants closed in san francisco, closed the health department permits and only 384 opened. another way look at this is if you compare the 2018 numbers and we have numbers going back five years and we've asked them to go further and to expand to look at mobile trucks, but t

byre was a report last week the bureau of labor statistics suggesting four weeks ago the unemployments 4.4%. if we adjust those numbers for this unemployment insurance claims coming in over the last two weeks, more claims -- more data on the claims will be coming in while i am on this program with you. the real unemployment rate is probably in the ballpark of 10% to 40%. if that is true, the unemployment rate today is probably as high as it has been since the great depression. experts think it might go higher. the former chairman of the federal reserve bank said earlier this week she expects unemployment could reach great depression levels by the time this is all said and done. in other words, the unemployment rate could get into the ballpark of 20% to 25%. forecasters had suggested -- have suggested the economy will contract on the year-by-year basis as much as 6%, but what is not known right now is how much we will experience a recovery once we suppress the pandemic. in other words, are we going to expect a -- experience a v-shap ed recovery or are we going to wee a w-shape recovery

but a bureau of labor stay statistics from last year showed the risk factors existed before this virus. about 60% of people who worked in management, business and other jobs could work from home, but less than 10% of service workers could. 37% of asians said they could work remotely. 30% for whites. 20% for african-americans and 16% for hispanics. more than half of those with college degree or higher could work from home. without a high school diploma only 4% could. the virus is ravaging low income people working essential jobs many without health insurance and without undiagnosed preexisting conditions. >> poverty makes you more likely to be sick. being sick makes you more likely to be poor. the kinds of jobs that people have when they are low income put them at greater risk. >> many essential workers are now demanding hazard pay and better protection from the virus. workers at amazon, whole foods and instacart all staged protests last week. jon? jon: jacqui heinrich in new york city, thanks. >>> with this outbreak sof of covid-19 aboard the aircraft carrier uss roosevelt and the numb
