Nearly 4 in 10 of those out of work ran out of food in the last month

Unemployed includes Americans who say they were not working in the past week because they were laid off temporarily, care-giving during the pandemic or were looking for work. The survey of 2,238 adults was conducted May 4-10 using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.
