Well as weve all seen throughout this pandemic a lot can change in a month, even just a week now the experts that i spoke with say that of course those projections are subject to many uncertainties and unknowns but they do agree that the bay areas already seeing some concerning trends that could impact its recovery. The coronavirus has flipped twentytwenty upside down. But now experts say the pandemic will likely have a lasting impact. On the countrys labor market over the next decade in its latest report, the Congressional Budget Office projects a 4. 4 Unemployment Rate at the end of 2030 which is higher than pre pandemic levels of 3. 5 in february this year as a longterm projections are. Filled with uncertainty all the time and even more right now i do think though that when you look back at previous recessions, there is something that you can learn particularly the last recession. Roughly at the same unemployment thats they were back in the Great Recession and in some parts of the country that actually never recovered country overall it to take about a decade to kind of get back to those Employment Level so its not out of the realm of possibility Jeff Belisario executive director at the Bay Area Council Economic Institute says. Those projections could change in a highly dependent on public response policy response in trajectory of the virus. In june the u. S. UnEmployment Level fell to 11. 1 down from its peak of 14. 7 in april but now as cases rise in california and restrictions are put back in place. We continue to see california as lose jobs. That will certainly slow. If not completely halt the recovery. Sharing california at todays numbers, new unemployment claims numbers we have. Nearly 280,000 jordan 80,000 new.

We have grown more quickly this time the industrys but i do think this time or industries are more prone to remote there. And so that could give us a little bit of a disadvantage. Now there are a lot of unknowns that could impact those projects projections and while the bay area typically comes out of recessions more quickly than the rest of the country because of its Tech Innovation industry as well that trend could reverse or change because a lot of those Tech Companies are now allowing their employees to work from home or work remotely for now live in San Francisco Taylor Bisacky kron 4 news taylor.
