There is no doubt that the economy will continue to take a hit. Here in the USA I think we are in a fairly good position compared to many other countries, and I am grateful for that. That said, when the US loses "reserve currency status" sometime in the future, that will be a huge hit to our economy. I hope that is a long time in the future, but who knows.
I think that all countries really need to double down on educating not only young people but also middle age and older workers who need to be able to learn new skills and be agile in the job market.
