COVID Stimulus Watch
A public service of Good Jobs First

The 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (or CARES Act) and the American Rescue Plan Act (or ARPA) provide hundreds of billions of dollars in assistance to large and small corporations whose operations have been disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic. The public deserves to know which companies are receiving the assistance and whether aid is flowing to firms with a poor record of corporate accountability.

Covid Stimulus Watch answers those needs. It assembles CARES Act and ARPA recipient data and combines it with information about each firm’s history of regulatory violations, previous government assistance, federal tax avoidance, and CEO and worker pay practices.
