In response to the unprecedented crisis caused by the coronavirus outbreak, everybody is understandably focused on their health and the health of their loved ones as well as the viability of their jobs and businesses.
We at the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce heard these concerns in dozens of voices last week on a conference call with small business owners discussing the new federal relief legislation - How do we survive? How do I keep my employees on the payroll? How long will this nightmare last?
We are pleased that the U.S. Congress approved the CARES Act in a quick and bipartisan manner to assist those affected by COVID-19.
The NJ Chamber thanks all of New Jersey’s Congressional members who helped secure this critical legislation and we are grateful for the commitment and dedication they have shown during this unprecedented crisis.

It is hard to believe the coronavirus outbreak that has virtually paralyzed businesses and crashed global financial markets only grabbed our attention a few weeks ago.
Each day, the headlines sound more foreboding as state and federal officials across the U.S. try to get their arms around how fast the virus is spreading and how it will impact the economy.
It is not a surprise that the bad news grabs the lion’s share of the headlines, but we should recognize the many positive things New Jersey’s government and business leaders are already doing to address the coronavirus outbreak.
