'I Have Bills I Have to Pay.' Low-Wage Workers Face Brunt of Coronavirus Crisis
As coronavirus shutdowns halt commerce across the U.S., low-wage workers, many of whom live paycheck to paycheck, are being quickly stung.
The affected jobs, by their nature, often require broad personal contact, such as running a cash register or cleaning hotel rooms. That substantially raises the risk of infection.
Many such workers also hold positions most vulnerable to quick job cuts and pay cuts, especially in service industries.
That includes restaurant workers, hotel maids, dog walkers and child-care providers. In many cases, the cuts are tied to shutdowns and cancellations of events in sports stadiums, industry conventions, casinos, music festivals and other public gatherings.
