Poverty rate is now 11.7%, up 2.4% since June. The drastic fall is more than double the worst recorded since poverty rates started being recorded nearly 60 years ago.Going to get a lot worse before it gets better, but it should get better soon, at least for some.

Production is starting to roar in Asia so there will be lots of goods to buy for the wealthiest Americans, once they get vaccinated. The large companies that survive will be rolling in revenue soon enough, and will be able to find lots of available workers at low rates too.
The poverty and unemployment could take a lot longer to recover.
Lots of industries will be changed forever, but all of that is trivial compared to those that have lost loved ones during this pandemic.
Everyone please stay safe during this holiday season.
