The coronavirus pandemic has put millions of people out of work as businesses have shuttered in compliance with government stay-at-home orders to prevent the spread of the virus.
But it’s not just the unemployed who are struggling to pay for their housing. Many working Americans have seen their income dwindle despite remaining employed during the coronavirus emergency. That’s the case for Rafael Nunez. I could be home for three weeks. I could be home for four days. I have no idea. I even got a piece of paper in my paycheck saying that we cannot use any vacation hours or any sick hours. That’s really upsetting because Passover is coming up. Usually, I get paid for that with my vacation hours, and now it’s like a whole month without pay again. — Rafael Nunez I tried to apply for unemployment earlier this week.
MW: How will this affect your ability to pay rent in April and May? Have you talked to your management company or landlord about your situation? It’s a big relief. It actually helps me not think about or stressed out during the middle of day when there’s nothing going on and when there’s absolutely nothing for me to do, or nothing I can do about the situation.Rafael Nunez: I do a lot of finishing work. My company specializes in custom homes. So a lot of times I’m doing a lot of finishing work putting up new faucets, new bathroom trims for new homes and whatnot. I do a lot of gas work, gas piping, and sprinkler work.
If work is 'drying up'. Being a plumber I guess you should StayAtHome ✌🏽😷
