Workers may lose up to USD 3.4 trillion in 2020 income over virus: UN

The COVID-19 pandemic will push millions more into unemployment, underemployment and working poverty, the United Nations said on Wednesday, warning that workers globally stood to lose up to USD 3.4 trillion in income this year alone.

"Falls in employment... mean large income losses for workers," the International Labour Organisation said, releasing a report showing workers stand to lose between USD 860 billion and USD 3.4 trillion by the end of 2020.
