    Well a large number of them are dead. Others I imagine are moving back in with friends and family, reducing costs by increasing numbers per household. A ton of these positions are high intensity and strenuous so I imagine it's a lot of younger people who probably arent living in established households already.

      Yup tons of people moved in with family during the pandemic and now don’t have to accept such shitty working conditions. YET SOMEHOW RENT AND HOME PRICES ARE STILL SKYROCKETING, making getting jobs that won’t allow you to cover rent and bills even less attractive.
