New data shows Paycheck Protection Program helped nearly 100,000 jobs in Kansas’ Third District

The Small Business Administration recently released new data from the Paycheck Protection Program showing that it has preserved "more than 99,597 jobs in" the Kansas Third Congressional District, according to a press release.

Although the program has helped many Kansans keep their jobs and businesses during a global pandemic, Rep. Sharice Davids is among those who have voiced concerns about some of the loans issued to large, profitable companies.

"I have big concerns about many of the large corporations with deep pockets that we're learning got these loans," Davids said in a release. "That's not who the program was intended for and I'll keep fighting to increase transparency and oversight to ensure our workers and small businesses get the support they need."
