The coronavirus pandemic has left over 38 million American workers unemployed.

There is no time limit to a furlough -- it could last a few weeks or even months.

Furloughed workers should always look at their employer's plan to determine whether health insurance can continue. Signage is displayed on a closed New York State Department of Labor building in Queens, N.Y. on April 14, 2020.Some companies will allow furloughed workers to keep their benefits, such as vacation or paid time off during their leave of absence.

"Employees may decide after they return that they want to increase their contributions to make up for that loss, for those weeks or months they were on furlough or being laid off," Clayton said.

Vote for Biden and this is permanent. Vote for Trump and we'll have all-time-high record job numbers again next year.
