@Jason H I sure hope so, in NJ it's been horrid to secure orders, let alone getting to talk to someone and getting a decision made. Seems like it's 2007 all over again
I am currently furloughed at the moment. My company is running a skeleton crew. No one has been laid off. The president has full plans to bring everyone back when businesses open. But nothing is guaranteed.
@Jayjay4535 sorry to hear that, what's the difference between furloughed and laid off?

Furlough is supposed to be short term and the intent to hire the employee back where layoff is meant to be permanent
Also you keep benefits on furlough i.e. medical, 401k etc
