A bar chart based on survey data, showing that respondents who lost or were laid off from a job tapped into more public and private safety-net programs than those who were furloughed, had hours reduced, or otherwise lost income. Those who had no negative employment impact were least likely to tap into safety-net programs.
NOTE: Based on a Dec. 2020 survey of adults ages 18 to 64. SNAP, Medicaid/CHIP and rental assistance may be underreported because only respondents with family income below 400% of the federal poverty level were asked about those programs.
