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.

Yeah, we haven't seen it to quite the same extent in Canada as in the US but it's NUTS there.
Between people that held on to their job and didn't quit in 2020 bc they wanted security, folksgoing back to school, moved during the pandemic, decided their employer didn't handle covid very well, want to work from home, rising wages to compete for talent, unemployment benefits etc, turnover and attracting people is like nothing we've ever seen in our lifetimes.
