July 1, 2020: Among workers having in-person interaction with customers and co-workers, 54% believe that the lockdowns have done more harm than good. However, among workers who are socially isolated, 62% take the opposite view. The socially isolated workers have no in-person interaction with customers and co-workers.[1]

Among all workers, 40% believe the lockdowns did more harm than good while 53% disagree.[1]

A Ballotpedia national survey of 1,764 working Americans also found a significant gap between these groups on perceptions of the economy.

  • Those out working are evenly divided as to whether the economy is getting better or worse.
  • Among the socially isolated workers, however, perceptions are decidedly more pessimistic. By a 47% to 30% margin, these workers believe the economy is getting worse.[1]
