Those who have had flexibility of work and who could work from home were
better off than those who were already struggling, who didn t have the same flexibility, and who lost jobs and fell further and further behind, said Aaron Schill, director of data and mapping for the MId-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC), which released the briefs on Tuesday.
That is especially true for people of color and low-income residents, he said. How do we think about the long-term recovery for the region? Schill said.
The MORPC briefs are designed to help the region recover from COVID-19 and its lasting impacts. The briefs, which can be read at https://www.morpc.org/covid19policybriefs/, deal with seven topics: economic and community development, employment and small businesses, housing, the social sector, technology and broadband access, transportation, and public health.
