The Taking the Pulse of the Nation has tracked financial stress and mental distress throughout the pandemic. Financially, some workers were laid off due to lockdown restrictions, there were changes in demand and supply, in addition to several other factors that have changed how we work and the need for workers. Emotionally, we spent much of 2020 and 2021 in isolation and engaging in social distancing. Both changes in the workplace and the restrictions we faced resulted in high levels of financial stress and/or high levels of mental distress.
