Employment among the lowest-paid workers remains far below its pre-Covid baseline. But mid- and high-wage workers have more than recovered.
Low-wage industries got hit harder during the pandemic than others, according to AnnElizabeth Konkel, an economist at the Indeed Hiring Lab.
But current employment levels among low-wage workers aren't necessarily attributable to a dearth of jobs, as was the case early in the pandemic, according to Friedman. He believes it's more a function of people not returning to work — though for reasons that aren't entirely clear. Covid fears were the No. 1 reason unemployed workers weren't urgently looking for work in June, according to an Indeed survey.
