meant to aid the unemployed is causing confusion and frustration among some business owners, laid-off workers, and the currently employed, according to interviews.
"I am very blessed to still be able to work both my jobs because they are deemed essential but you can understand my frustration," said Meaghan Rhead, an employee of The Country Market grocery store in Big Sky, Montana.

"I find myself working around the clock," she said. "The need to be productive and running at 100% efficiency has increased, so there isn't an opportunity for slowing down. There's no time for breaks." Adam Lowe, the co-owner of Sundara Indian Cuisine in San Diego, said he "ran into a wall" trying to hire cooks for his restaurant over the past few weeks.
"We're probably going to have to send all that [PPP money] back because we're not able to use it for payroll," he said. .
