12. Yeah, it very much is pandemic related.

People who work in restaurants and bars in some places still have work (SOME) but with hours drastically reduced and also = half the customers, half the tips. (I've seen some studies that say tips have dropped even more than you would expect with some business. Why? Because the people who go out to restaurants in the middle of a pandemic have a greater tendency to be the selfish louts who don't tip well and abuse the staff).

Many retail workers still have a job on paper but have had their hours so dramatically cut they barely have any income from it.
