President Joe Biden’s proposed mandate that millions of U.S. businesses require employees to be vaccinated against the CCP virus will put more than 44 million jobs at risk and cost firms nearly $1.3 billion to comply, according to a new report issued Nov. 23 by Republican members of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.

The report analyzed the number of jobs put at risk and the compliance costs for businesses on a state-by-state basis. Biden’s proposed mandate related to the virus that causes COVID-19 was issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as an Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS).
