Whatever the reason for businesses to require masking of their employees, whether it’s virtue-signaling, fear of liability, or something else, I think there are quite a few people who would be willing to work if they didn’t have to wear useless and uncomfortable masks.
The problem is the expanded unemployment benefits. There is a disincentive to go back to work for people making $9-14/hour. In most states(except MT now)you can make as much if not more staying home than you can at an entry level job.

My son works at a major Pharma company. They have had a position in his department open since September starting @ $60K.
