As expected, the COVID pandemic continues to have a strong impact on the economy and markets. The COVID variants are also presenting a greater concern for economic growth.

High wage earners are the only segment to show a recovery relative to the beginning of 2020. Collegeage people, parents and older people are not present in the work force.
