Jobs are at a Stand still
If you haven’t been paying attention with the current state of the Corona Virus pandemic than you really should. Most Americans have been off their jobs and the unemployment is the highest it has been in centuries. I say that with great trepidation because my thoughts are on the economics of this this and when is it too much to force Americans to stay home? We can ask that question from the individual personal views but we should also ask that from the population? When do we consider the ramifications of the whole situation? Most Americans aren’t making that much money from work and surviving from paycheck to paycheck. This is the problem with the current situation when people can’t really afford to be off work for such a long time and not making the money they are used to be making from work. Unemployment probably isn’t paying anywhere the amount most people actually get from working.
Work from home is on the rise
Ever since the self isolation and keeping people home companies have instituted working from home. The goal of this was to keep people working and for the company to still make money. We have seen a lot of people working at home more and that is where it will probably change. The question that I am thinking is will the work? Will they keep this up when we get back to work? Will the companies allow people to work more from home? I can only suspect that companies will do this as a greater experiment and try to see what will work and what will not. We also have to consider just how well this will work and what will happen to our economy when all this is over with. Will we be bouncing back or will we have even more jobs open up due to the current pandemic?
Your job will change!
The truth of the matter is that most Americans will have a job change in the coming weeks to probably months. A lot of companies will want to change people titles or even shut down all the way. I’ve already started seeing companies such as Lone Star Restaurant declaring bankruptcy due to not being able to serve their customers. I’ve watched how companies have already started to implement this into their own situations and I am sure we will see even more companies shut down permanently and I am sure we will see an explosion people out of work. This is my real fear right now that the we are being forced to go into a recession due to this pandemic. I am sure it’s a really fear for most Americans and other nations also. We will all see this change coming in the coming months and maybe even next year. People’s lives will change in one way or another. Wee will not be back to the normalcy we are used to for quite some time.
Economics is strange!
With all that is going on we will see the economic atmosphere change in the many aspects from our personal lives to how we interact with other individual. We will see it change in how we will deal with our family members and our love lives. In every way we will see this pandemic change our lives and how we will end up in the new normal. We will see this for years to come and even then the new normal will be hard for most people. It will not be the same and we must accept that fact and move forward and try to make it the best we can.
