I’ve heard that those folks will typically stand in areas of a particular city where day labor is sought after - and most can get day labor through this process at meager wages. Lots of hotels with low daily rates that attract the “evaporated” people there to work daily and be done with work daily. Watched an interview with an older gentleman who was well-spoken, had been “evaporated” for like his whole life, such a beautiful spirit laden with regret. The whole “evaporation” movement has this weird reset ideology baked in too - so I’d imagine some folks come to this place to start-over, not realizing what a trap it can be societally. My understanding is few people if any go from “evaporated persons” back into structured society.
