It's not that people are wanting to live on Ei/Cerb. Some companies are trying to keep the home based model or a hybrid solution but ALOT of people are taking this opportunity to switch fields and retrain/goback to school. It was a perfect excuse to quit that job that you hated to retrain for a different field either for a better wage or one more suited to your tastes as you get older.
I think for alot of people the pause help people understand what they wanted to do and get out of their personal and professional relationships. I think the work force will rebound ( obviously) but I think it may be a few years at least . The labour force is basically going to be shifting around as people retrain and go back to school.
