Update: The long-term impact of Covid on workers

Absences due to illness and exposure to the virus are impacting industries worldwide

Omicron is having an impact on the global workforce. To try and tackle the problem in the US, health authorities have halved the recommended isolation period for people who test positive for Covid-19, but don't exhibit symptoms. Joshua Hausman of the University of Michigan recently wrote an article for the Atlantic about the wider impact of the pandemic on workers in the US, and gives us his thoughts on how long the effect might last. Also in the show, we get a view on the day's trading on Wall Street from Joe Saluzzi of Themis Trading.
