Jobs lost and jobs reinvented with covid-19
Six stories: A retiree, a tourism worker, an employee at a foreign company, an online worker, a family business, and a barbershop
6 mayo, 2021
“Armando” is a retiree who, from time to time, managed to work a few extra shifts as a waiter in the city of Granada, to earn an income that would allow him to cover household expenses. That option disappeared when the news of the first Covid-19 infection in the country broke, leaving him entirely dependent on his small pension.
Faced with the indolence of the official handling of the health emergency, companies, civil society organizations and families decided to stay at home, which suddenly slowed the national economy down, as shown by the monthly and quarterly GDP; tax collection, and the destruction of formal jobs, measured by the number of Social Security affiliates and informal ones.
