CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/ECONOMY/JOBS/MEDIA: “I think we can get tremendous numbers of jobs by November. I think by the end of the year, we’re going to have a vast number of jobs, largely…shortly thereafter, we should be almost where we were. And I think ultimately next year is going to be a fantastic year… You know, I was predicting the V, right? You know that. From the beginning. And now everybody’s saying I’m right. And we’ll see. We’ve got tremendous momentum. Now, it’ll be interesting to see where that momentum goes now. We were riding really straight through. Doing great. And then we got hit by the China virus. And frankly, we’re starting a little bit of a different campaign. Now it’s about jobs. Before it was about other things, but basically before it was about keeping it where it was. Now it’s about having it go up. And it will go up. I think you’ll see big GDP increases. I think you’ll see big jobs increases.”
