In The Right Job

During the pandemic many people changed jobs - though some people also lost jobs. Quite a lot of the changes invalid a switch to a different ,location and/ or to a different industry as people sought out  jobs they thought might be secure until at least after the pandemic.

The situation has been rather like that where people get made redundant and start a new role/job/career/business, saying subsequently that the redundancy was the best thing that happened to them.

So, hopefully, n we have more people in more suitable and more enjoyable jobs. suitable and more enjoyable roles.  People who are satisfied with their job/role are generally more productive. If only the economy would grow, these people would form the basis of a mini productivity boom.

So the government and then fiscal guardians and policy-setters in particular have a very important (and not particularly easy) task to accomplish - to grow the economy before then potential of his current situation is dissipated.

If governments can do this, we might look back on the pandemic as an opportunity taken, rather than as an unfortunate catastrophe.
