Unemployment is high, but much lower than the initial surge from coronavirus. It's likely we're still seeing significant hour/shift reduction, but as lockdown measures relax that will mostly let up or those workers will shift to different fields.

We are seeing things shift away from brick and mortars, but that isn't new just accelerated. It seems like ecommerce is eating everyones lunch now.
