Restaurants losing millions of workers: Winters

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused huge numbers of employees of restaurants, grocery stores, and food manufacturers to seek employment in other industries or leave the workforce altogether according to research by John Winters, associate professor.

Winters is an author of a new Iowa State study, “COVID-19 Employment Status Impacts on Food Sector Workers,” along with Seung Jin Cho and Jun Yeong Lee, both Ph.D. students in Iowa State’s Department of Economics.
