Except for fast-food chain restaurants, restaurants devastated.
Except for Amazon, Walmart, Target and the other big-box stores, retail devastated.
Except for mega corporation grocery store chains, groceries devastated.
Jobs are where exactly?
Being called back to work at 25% hours and wages doesnt help either.

Again, since the above industries are not coming back for years, where are the jobs?
How bout all us retired folks with extra expenses?
