For reasons described below, CBO reports those characteristics only for the subset of unemployment insurance recipients, 19 million people, who are expected to receive regular unemployment benefits in July-not for people who are eligible for other unemployment assistance that was enacted in response to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. CBO's findings, which are enumerated in the table at the end of this letter, are as follows: Overall. About 12 percent of people in the labor force and about 76 percent of the unemployed will receive regular unemployment benefits in July, CBO estimates. Race and Ethnicity. About 14 percent of Hispanics in the labor force will receive benefits, 16 percent of African Americans, 10 percent of whites, and 14 percent of other races.

Sex. About 13 percent of women and 11 percent of men in the labor force will receive benefits in July, CBO estimates. Among the www.cbo.gov
