How Much Do You Keep in Cash?

As it has been and will continue to be a good time to buy stocks at bargains over the next few months, there'll also be uncertainty around the job market/layoffs the longer this pandemic continues. I had been hoarding cash over the last year so have been deploying it the past few weeks; however, I'm also trying to figure out how much I should hold on to at a minimum in case I get laid off. What % of your annual income or how many months of expenses do you guys usually keep in cash? And are any of you stashing away more due to job market uncertainty?
