“Believe it or not, there’s still a lot of people that don’t know there’s a bike shop in Altavista,” said Pate. The Town of Altavista is launching the Distrx mobile app to bring attention to their downtown district. Jessica McKay, manager of Main Street Café and Coffee, believes this is another way to connect with consumers during COVID. Sandridge added any Main Street community across the country can set up the Distrx app, that way visitors receive notifications instantly. “So, if you’re living in Florida, but you visit here in Altavista; if you have the app, you’re going to get a notification the moment you come into the downtown district,” said Sandridge.

Survey: US companies cut back sharply on hiring in July

Read full article: Survey: US companies cut back sharply on hiring in July

U.S. businesses sharply reduced hiring last month suggesting that the resurgent viral outbreak this summer slowed the economic recovery as many states closed parts of their economies again and consumers remained cautious about spending. U.S. firms added just 167,000 jobs in July, payroll processor ADP said Wednesday, far below June's gain of 4.3 million and May's increase of 3.3 million. July's limited hiring means the economy still has 13 million fewer jobs than it did in February, according to ADP, before the viral outbreak intensified. Hiring collapsed among companies of all sizes and in nearly all industries. A category that mostly includes restaurants, bars and hotels added just 38,000 jobs last month, after gaining more than 3 million in May and June.

Q&A: The nuts and bolts of the Paycheck Protection Program

Read full article: Q&A: The nuts and bolts of the Paycheck Protection Program

(AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh, File)NEW YORK Small businesses can still get help from the governments coronavirus relief plan after Congress extended the Paycheck Protection Program until Aug. 8. The program that was set to expire Tuesday still has nearly $132 billion left after giving out more than 4.8 million loans since it began April 3. On Monday, the Small Business Administration, which oversees the program, disclosed the names of companies that received loans of more than $150,000. The program aims to motivate small businesses to retain their employees or, if they have laid them off, get them back to work. The SBA approved more than 4.8 million loans in less than three months, far more than the 58,000 it approved in 2019.
