This is America.. where employers (small and large like Walmart) schedule workers for part time just so they don't have to provide health insurance. Where low wage workers live paycheck to paycheck, get no time off, and if they get sick they would still be expected to show up for work.

Economists cant seem wrap their head around the idea that being a front line worker being exposed directly to sick people during a pandemic seems to be worth more money than when there wasn't a pandemic.

Incredible. It's like people--including low wage people--understand there's a pandemic going on.

I wonder when economists will catch on.
