As of May 31, about one third of people surveyed in the United States lost 10 to 25 percent of their income over the past 4 weeks due to the coronavirus pandemic. At the same time, it's the U.S. who, with 13 percent, have the highest share of respondents who lost all their income.
Are people getting financial support from their governments?
A pandemic which has spread across 6 continents around the globe, coronavirus has impacted almost everyone in one way or the other. Many are (temporarily) out of job, others have been furloughed or placed on short-time work. In the United States, a country considerably seriously affected by COVID-19 as of May 2020, more than one third of the consumers who lost their income were getting financial support from their government.
Are people satisfied with their governments’ response to the COVID-19 pandemic?
More than three-quarter of respondents in Germany were not getting financial help from their government as of May 2020. Nevertheless, almost half of them were quite satisfied with their government’s response to the pandemic. Same cannot be said about residents of the U.S. which made up the least satisfied respondents among the surveyed countries.
