Anecdote: in the SF bay area in the last two weeks, I've randomly overheard two business owners talk about how they have lots of work but can't hire back any of their workers. One was a roofer, the other the manager of a hair salon who explicitly said that their staff say why would make $1000 / month less if they came back to work than if they stay at home not working. That suggests that as soon as the financial support falls to a more normal level, the unemployment level may drop significantly.
