Remarks from JP Morgan (speaking with Yahoo finance)
- If we were to jump back to 100% of normal school operations, we might get a gain of something like 900,000 jobs in the education sector when that rebound happens. We doubt we’ll get that full bounce back, and we almost certainly won’t get it all in one month
- So we’re thinking that this month, we might get a boost from the education sector of about 225,000 jobs. And our forecast for the total payroll gain this Friday is 625,000 jobs.
