In a blog post published on Tuesday, San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President Mary Daly noted that she expects most of the people who lost their jobs during the coronavirus crisis to return to labor force as the economy recovers.
"Myriad factors are tempering labor supply at the moment – the need to care for children, fears of COVID, generous unemployment benefits," Daly said. "But there is no reason to expect those to be permanent or even highly persistent features of the labor market."
