This piece addresses (and provides data to refute) the common claim that increased unemployment benefits are the source of worker hesitancy.
But it doesn't address eviction moratoriums, which to me seem like they could be a pretty significant driver of this phenomenon. If you've been able to just stop paying rent, I would think the need to work is heavily diminished (or rather, other government benefits that would never be sufficient on their own can be stretched to cover all non-rent expenses).
No idea the scale here; haven't found anything more recent than https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/25/nearly-20percent-of-renters-in-america-are-behind-on-their-payments.html https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/25/nearly-20percent-of-renters-...
