'It’s like any business – it’s going to make a mark,” said legal sex worker Sandi Benks of the closure's financial impact due to coronavirus concerns. 'You work so hard when you’re an independent contractor, and it’s just on hold. It’s just bizarre.'
Benks said that even before the closure, she had clients cancelling, and one canceled because he suspected he’d been exposed to the virus.
And, as an independent contractor, she doesn’t pay into state unemployment, according to Rosa Mendez, public information officer for the Nevada Department of Employment, Rehabilitation and Training. On Friday, Mendez said that meant they would not be eligible for state relief. During the brothel closures, sex worker Alice Little said she will focus on marketing her brand and working as a social media influencer.
