Loss of $600-a-week unemployment boost leaves many Americans in a precarious state

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

It's now been over a week since tens of millions of Americans have stopped receiving the $600 federal unemployment boost.

Negotiations between Republicans and Democrats over what to replace those payments with have turned into an increasingly protracted and bitter process. Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told CNBC on Thursday that he expects both sides to reach a deal "at some point in the near future."

Those words bring little reassurance to Sarah Lafauci, who was laid off from her position as a human resources contractor for Delta Air Lines in March and hasn't been able to land another job since.

"I'm on Indeed every single day, looking for jobs," Lafauci, 36, said. "There's nothing."
