Etsy is doing very well during the pandemic - Marketplace
Etsy reported earnings this week and it said it sold more than 12 million masks last month, totaling $133 million. And people are buying other things there that they can’t get elsewhere, like garden plants and seeds, sewing materials and kitchen supplies. The question is, can Etsy keep all those customers once the pandemic ends?
Josh Silverman: At the beginning of April, the CDC changed its guidelines and recommended that Americans wear fabric face masks. All of a sudden, we saw an explosion of demand, literally overnight, on Etsy. We put out a call to our sellers, saying, “Hey, if you have a sewing machine, please start making masks.” Within two weeks, we had 20,000 sellers making masks, and in fact, now we have 60,000 sellers who’ve made and sold masks.

How many jobs will come back after the COVID-19 pandemic ends? - Marketplace
Many workers believe that, too — at least the part about getting their jobs back at some point. Of those who lost jobs last month, 78% reported they were temporarily laid off.
But a paper out this week from the Becker Friedman Institute at the University of Chicago estimates that many of the layoffs people expect to be temporary will actually become permanent.
"Our best guess is something like 60% of the employment reduction is going to be temporary, and 40% is going to be permanent," said Nicholas Bloom, an economics professor at Stanford University and one of the co-authors of the paper. "Looking through history at previous recessions, often these temporary layoffs unfortunately turn out to be permanent."
