It’s hard to tell, folks invested in the stock market are doing well. Many small brick and mortar businesses won’t survive. Then there is the issue of those who will be newly homeless this year. It’s estimated that 20-40 million households are at risk of being homeless. Even if those numbers are off by half, it’s hard to see how their needs can be met over the long or short term.
I’d love to have an optimistic view on the matter of our economy but covid came at a time when our farmers were fighting the drought and tariffs and there was little industrial growth. Most jobs being added were service industry, and those are directly impacted by openings and closings of businesses nationwide.
I don’t think anyone can predict what will happen in the next 6 months to a year.
