Utah workers worry as federal unemployment aid expires

Christian Haskins, 37, is shown at his home Thursday, July 23, 2020, in Millcreek, Utah. Federal unemployment aid that has helped avert financial ruin for millions of Americans is expiring in Utah and elsewhere on Saturday, July 25, 2020, leaving many residents unsure of how they'll pay their bills as the number of new COVID-19 cases continue to rise. He was laid off from his job as a labor coordinator for live events in July. Without the $600-a-week federal enhancement to his unemployment, he'll be barely scraping by and he's scared of what could happen if he has a costly emergency. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer)
