As COVID-19 cases drop and pandemic measures are eased, business across the nations are calling employees back to work, a mass recall known as "The Great Return."
"The Great Resignation" started two years ago as employees were laid off, furloughed or took up work from home as a result of the pandemic, FOX 6 Milwaukee News reported. "The Great Return" is now occurring as the country begins to see the end of the pandemic and employees return to work.
U.S. President Joe Biden delivered a speech to encourage Americans to return to work earlier this month.
"Because of the progress we’ve made in fighting COVID-19, Americans can not only get back to work but they can going [sic] to the office and safely fill our great downtown cities again and — creating more commerce," Biden said in a statement, according to FOX 6. "With 75% of adult Americans fully vaccinated and hospitalizations down by 77%, most Americans can remove their masks, return to work and move forward safely."
The president's comments came after a report showed that job gains were more than 200,000 higher than estimated.
Some workers may be reluctant to return. A new poll showed that the majority of Americans who work remotely would continue to work from home if they had that option.
