A 61-year-old carpenter in Iowa on job loss: 'I'm starting to feel more confident about riding it out.'

takes readers deep inside the decimated American workforce.Krueger has worked in carpentry all his life and ran his own business specializing in cabinet making and custom woodwork.If work doesn't pick up soon, Krueger says he may only last through September before he'll need to shut down his design shop, and is worried about finding a fair-paying job at his age. I've been a carpenter all of my life and left a big company in Georgia to move closer to my family in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Business really started slowing down for me in February due to the virus; by March it was pretty much stopped. The impact was pretty sudden, as we weren't aware that lumber yards weren't restocking materials. For a few of my jobs, the client's desired wood was unavailable, so I had to purchase a more costly grain or species of wood, which then decreased my total profit.

If I don't get consistent work in the near future, I can only make it through September, maybe October, before I need to pull the plug.
