Historically pandemics have been followed by large, unexpected changes in all parts of society. It looks like the year long trauma of dealing with Covid-19 has forced Americans to reevaluate their relationship to work. Many want to continue to work remotely; some have quit their jobs and are reinventing themselves; many have relocated to different parts of the country. Join Dr. Kent Bottles as he explores how the economy, work life balance, childcare, and mental health have been changed by the pandemic. Lunch is included.
