Echoes of The Economy - The Loss
This is a list of reasons people around the area decided not to go back to work.

The people that we asked might be saying hello to you in a restaurant, shop, or office.

We found business owners that are currently closing, employees that decided to stay home, and people that couldn't go back to work to stay home for family.

I found that almost everyone that commented was deeply discouraged by the way things are going.

Everyone hoped that things would change.

Here are a few things people around the area said in response to the question...


"Why aren't you back to work"


If I go back full time, I’ll lose my unemployment benefits.


They want me to do things I refuse to do.


I'm just not comfortable going back into the office.


I can’t travel anymore because of restrictions.


They made me close my business, now my employees won’t come back to work.


The cost of product is too much to make a profit.


The economy has changed too much, I can’t compete anymore.


My lease is too much to cover now that things have slowed down. It's just not worth it.


I cant keep up with food prices.


The people just aren't willing to pay the prices anymore.


I cant support my family anymore, so I took a job somewhere else.



Lockdowns destroyed countless businesses and families.


Never Again.
