The pandemic’s devastating economic toll came into sharp focus Friday, via grim data about the U.S. workforce: More than 20 million jobs disappeared from payrolls in April — wiping out a decade of gains in a single month as the unemployment rate jumped to 14.7 percent. “Those jobs will all be back, and they’ll be back very soon,” President Trump vowed on Fox News.
Meanwhile, a member of Vice President Pence’s staff tested positive for the novel coronavirus, the White House said Friday. Katie Miller, Pence’s press secretary and wife of senior adviser Stephen Miller, later told NBC News it was her. A day earlier, officials said one of Trump’s personal valets had tested positive.
