I think it's quite hard to separate the exogenous shock of the pandemic from how people are looking at the nature of their job.
There's entire industries that got upended or closed overnight. If it was as 'simple' as just a recession or layoffs, I think that would be more of a controlled test.
But just off the top of my head, restaurants, grocery stores, retail, child care. Assuming people would just come back sort of implies that everything is the same, but it is most certainly not. Anecdotally, I've heard from friends who are nurses that feel severely burnt out from this.
The pandemic sort of flipped proverbial monopoly board, and I don't think you can restore the game to the exact state it was in.
