The US unemployment rate jumped to 14.7% in April.
It's the highest it's been since the Great Depression.
According to Business Insider, the April jobs report shows that more than 20 million jobs were lost in a single month.
Losing a job is frightening for anyone, but particularly for foreign workers who are in the US on an H-1B visa.
Laid off foreign workers have 60 days to come up with a formal reason for staying in the US.
If the reason isn't accepted, the worker must leave.
