The Effects of the Black Death on the Labor Market
There have been some articles that I've seen from time to time, talk about a past pandemic in which it was much worse than this one.

It's extremely bad, but it's not Black Death pandemic levels. So we're probably not going to get some massive labor shortage. But even still, like I'm sort of curious about this time because none of these things ever added totally satisfying.
