The Covid-19 pandemic has severely impacted the job market leaving millions of people without jobs.
The service sector, which employs a large portion of low income workers, is one of the hardest hit sectors.
As social distancing and lockdown measures continue to control the spread of the virus, many of these jobs are unlikely to return any time soon.

The article notes that approximately three quarters of the global workforce is at risk of losing their jobs due to lockdown measures and business closures caused by the pandemic.
