Rep. Schiff and Rep. Jayapal Discuss the Paycheck Guarantee Act
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) explain how we can keep people on payroll and help businesses stay afloat through the Paycheck Guarantee Act. Under this bill, the federal government would guarantee wages and benefits for workers up to $90,000, so that employers can continue to pay their employees, even as they suffer revenue loss or closure due to the pandemic. A number of other countries, like Denmark, Germany, and France, have adopted similar policies, and they’ve been able to keep unemployment rates from spiking like we’ve seen in the United States. --- Join the conversation: ? https://www.schiff.house.gov ? https://www.facebook.com/RepAdamSchiff ? https://www.twitter.com/RepAdamSchiff ? https://www.instagram.com/RepAdamSchiff
