Supporting Workers and Families in the Pandemic Recession: Results in 2020 and Suggestions for 2021
回顾2020年美国为应对新冠疫情推出的多项支出计划，评估其对稳定劳动力市场和提供家庭经济援助的效果，并指出2021年可改进的方向。
We review several spending programs designed to support Americans through the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. We group these into programs designed to stabilize the labor market and facilitate its recovery and those that provided financial relief to households independent of their employment history. We review the extent to which these programs reached intended beneficiaries along with early evidence of program impacts. Overall, we find the programs were highly successful at delivering intended aid in 2020. Nevertheless, we identify common areas where programs could improve as support continues through 2021, and we discuss related needs that have so far received less attention from policymakers.
