Lots is being done to lessen the effect on the lower socioeconomic ladder. My state has a $600/week stipend for all those unemployed. In many cases this is more than they earned while employed. Sort of a temporary "basic income".

So its unevenly applied (not in every state). That's an issue to bring up with your state representative.
