For years now baristas, floor staff, and other hospitality professionals have been raising the alarm about working conditions and inadequate pay rates. These same workers were amongst the first to lose their jobs as the pandemic persisted and businesses closed. Most of these same employees had no choice but to accept government assistance when it was offered and what followed has the potential to play a role in reshaping coffee small businesses into the future. Take a listen to this episode of The Daily Coffee Pro by MAP IT FORWARD to get a unique insight into why there's a good chance our workforce may not be returning...the reason may not be as you expected!

The episode of The Daily by the New York Times referred to in this episode, "Stories From the Great Labor Shortage"
