Congress is proposing much-needed relief for restaurants devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The foodservice industry employs 10 percent of the U.S. workforce, and forced closures of restaurants have had a ripple effect on farmers, fishermen, distributors, and truckers that rely on them. Restaurants across the country are being required by health regulations to significantly limit their "in house" dining capacity, forcing them to increasingly rely on takeout and delivery. Under these conditions, many will not survive the year without government assistance.
