I lost my job at an oil & gas software company, so now I have less money to donate to clean energy and other causes. (It’s not one of the worst effects of COVID, I’ll grant you.)
Googling around I’m surprised how hard it is to find articles about job losses that were not published in March or April. Oilfield services were hardest-hit after April, whereas mostly restaurants, leisure & hospitality were hit hardest in March and April. The best info I could find by sector was this BLS report (“nonprofit” was not among the categories) and this chart shows that unemployment in the U.S. jumped from 3.5% in February to 14.7% in April, and fell steadily to 10.2% in July.

Hi dpiegrass,
Sorry about your job. I wish you the best of luck in your job search.
Sounds like a proxy I could use. Thanks for the idea.
