Here's a well-researched story on how real workers in Georgia are surviving after quitting:

"In Liberty County, workers who quit feel liberated, but the community discovers a powerful downside"

This is a weird article. It seems to cast the people who live in a place as collectively feeling pain, instead of specifically the owners/workers at a place of business that has lost employees. It sets up a false premise that the workers who are making choices for themselves are then suffering, when they are not part of the group experiencing the downside.
The solution to many of those employers problems is simple: pay better wages.
Or shut doors because they can't.
Yeah, that's another option, or clean the hotel by themselves like in the linked article. The risks of entrepreneurship.
