New York is running out of office workers

The city of New York is seen desolate in its imposing buildings, in whose offices the absence of its workers is noted by the covid-19.

One of these is located in the area Midtown Manhattan, which casts a sense of darkness, all the more so when New York Mayor Bill De Blasio announced in early December that the Big Apple was officially in the midst of the second wave of COVID-19.

Just take a look back months, and see the devastation caused by the pandemic in the central business district.

Another of the worst hit sectors is Broadway, which since March of this year was lonely and dark. The concerts were over, live performances were on hold and the actors announced that they would not return until winter 2021.

There were also no live sporting events or fancy hotel services; tourism and business trips were paralyzed; thousands of stores inevitably closed.

“Look what happened to New York. It’s a ghost town! ”, said Donald Trump in the presidential debate on October 22.

As usual, Trump indulged in hyperbole (excess), but anyone touring Midtown around this time would have had to admit he wasn’t all bad. What you notice most is what you don’t see: office workers, public Bloomberg.

By then, an analysis of card swiping Kastle Systems International LLC, company that provides security to more than 2,600 commercial buildings in the United States, only 17% of employees in the New York region had returned to the office.

Apparently the lowest for any of the top 10 metropolitan areas Kastle surveyed and well below its national average of 27%.

“New York was hit harder by the virus than anywhere else,” said to the portal Mark a, presidente de Kastle.

“There was a shell impact and extreme government policies to try to control it. He just never came back from it. “

On the other hand, New York’s rate of return was less than half that of Dallas, where the 38% of employees were back at their desks, Highest coefficient on the list. A situation that makes the owners of these powerful New York emporiums nervous.

The biggest threat to the world economy

According to the BBC, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), has indicated that this pandemic represents the “Greatest threat to the global economy since the 2008 financial crisis and estimates that it could grow at its lowest rate since 2009 due to the outbreak ”.

“Industrial production fell by 13.5% year-on-year in the first two months of 2020, the first reduction since January 1990; while retail sales fell 20.5% year-on-year, the biggest drop since it has been registered; while investment in fixed assets fell by 24.5% year-on-year, another record downward ”, review bbc.com.

Faced with this black economic outlook, there are few optimistic results, so it is recommended to reinvent yourself to survive.

Specialists warn that this global stagnation is proving very hard for those who are dedicated to the service sector, as well as the hotel and tourism industry, and the entertainment industry, since to avoid contagion, many events have been canceled, so that hundreds of people have been left without work.

There have been more than eight months of postponed events, which means that at least four more months from now, you will not receive income, highlights the website.
