• Mish Shedlock - The StreetHousehold Pulse Charts
I created the above chart from Household Pulse Surveys by the Census Bureau.
This is week #12. Data were collected between July 16, 2020 to July 21, 2020.
Here are more charts I made from the survey data.
No Pay
Nearly 100 million people reported no pay in the reference week. Of them 37,744,514 were retired.
62.173 million people were not retired and received no pay. 4.293 million said they did not want to work.
Those with no pay but were not retired bottomed on June 23 at 55.780 million.
Some people who are retired still want to work at least some hours.
Number Employed
130.003 million people received pay in the reference week. The number of people employed peaked at 134.855 million for the survey ending June 16.

117.952 million people did not work in the reference week.

87.333 million people expect an income loss in the next four weeks. Income loss is by household, not individually.
