Part-time jobs were hit especially hard during COVID-19

Part-time jobs in these sectors were hit especially hard. Jonathan Wadsworth writes that it is likely that demand for workers in hard-hit sectors will start to come back, but the persistence of COVID-19 and its associated effects on the movement of people could still slow recovery.
