Die Arbeitslosenquote in der San Francisco Bay Area ist weiterhin hoch, da die Pandemie-bedingten Entlassungen in Hotels, Restaurants und Geschäften im vergangenen Monat stark zugenommen haben.

Laut einem aktuellen Bericht des California Employment Development Department waren im April mehr als 20.000 Menschen in der Region arbeitslos, was einem Anstieg von 8% gegenüber dem Vormonat entspricht. Die Gewerkschaften und lokale Unternehmen warnen davor, dass die Situation noch schlimmer werden könnte, wenn die staatlichen Arbeitslosenunterstützungen in Kürze auslaufen.

Viele Arbeitnehmer, die ihre Jobs während der Pandemie verloren haben, haben Schwierigkeiten, neue Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten zu finden, da die Nachfrage in den von Entlassungen betroffenen Branchen weiterhin gering ist. Der technologische Sektor, der früher als Rettungsanker für die Wirtschaft der Bay Area galt, hat ebenfalls begonnen, Stellen abzubauen, was die Situation noch verschlimmert.

Experten sind besorgt über die langfristigen Auswirkungen der massiven Entlassungswelle in der Region und fordern mehr staatliche Unterstützung für die Betroffenen. Die Regierung arbeitet derzeit an Maßnahmen zur Stimulierung der Wirtschaft und zur Schaffung neuer Arbeitsplätze, um den Menschen in der Bay Area in dieser schwierigen Zeit zu helfen.
