I've noticed a number of closed small businesses, restaurants, etc which were open a few months back, I suppose their employees don't have anywhere to go now. More office buildings with "for lease" or "space available" signs too.

For the nannies, cleaners, and restaurateurs to earn money, someone has to be earning and willing to spend a sufficient amount to afford to pay them.
