2Many of the world's largest economies shut down almost overnight as nations tried to slow the spread of COVID-19. These measures saved lives, but they also cost millions of jobs and shuttered many companies--some temporarily, others forever. The Economic Impact of COVID-19 studies how the pandemic and the fight against it affected every part of the economy, from individuals to huge corporations. Features include a glossary, references, websites, source notes, and an index. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards.
