By Nikki Courtney Covid 19 took a heavy toll on Americans’ salaries. Elements Global Services surveyed 2,200 people in English-speaking countries, including the US, Canada and the UK, asking about how they fared pay-wise through the pandemic. 65% say their income was either flat or decreases, year over year. For those bringing home less, a pay cut was the top reason cited. Number two was losing a job altogether, a variable income the number three reason and taking a job with lower pay number four. 55% of those who saw their salary reduced say so far in 2021 it hasn’t rebounded to pre-pandemic levels yet.
