I think this is a huge one. Tons of families had to have one parent quit work when everything shut down because they literally had nowhere to send their kids while they worked. Lots of these jobs were blue collar that can't work from home. I think these families likely learned to exist on one income in that time, and between the covid risks and the risks of schools shutting down again a lot of these people aren't going back.
