NEW YORK, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) -- Long COVID has pushed around one million Americans out of the labor force, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on Monday cited economists, noting that over 5 percent of adults in the United States have long COVID, which is most prevalent among Americans in their prime working years.
"Never before have so many Americans redrawn their relationships with work as a result of one public-health crisis," said the report. "More than four years after the pandemic began, some are still reckoning with how to balance their livelihoods and life with long COVID, the chronic condition doctors are still trying to understand."
