My wife was layed off when it first hit last year because less people were going to the Dr for small stuff. She was making about the same on unemployment as she did as a part time PA with the extra money.
Then the Dr called one day and said she had to be back to work the next morning or she was fired. It was the first we even heard from him and all he had to do was ask.
Turns out he took some Grant money from the feds and he had to have the same employees come back to work soon or pay it back. It was still really slow at first when my wife went back and they didn't need her but the Federal grant was on the line.
I don't know how it works but a lot of employers got federal money too. My wife's boss did and he's white.
