(Bloomberg) -- The majority of Americans in the largest metro areas felt down, depressed or hopeless last week, according to Bloomberg calculations from a new U.S. Census Household Pulse Survey, which collects data on how people's lives have been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Some of the sunniest cities were the saddest, with high levels of depression reported in Phoenix, Los Angeles and Miami.
Almost two-thirds of respondents among households where a member lost income due to coronavirus-induced lockdowns reported feeling depressed. In contrast, less than half without wage declines expressed similar emotions.
Americans younger than 50 were most worried about losing their livelihoods and reported more despondency.
