Employment trends

In previous postwar recoveries, the number of jobs was about 7 percent above its previous peak by this point, on average.

In other words, if this had been a typical recession and recovery, the U.S. economy would now have roughly 10 million more jobs than it did at the previous peak. In fact, there are now three million fewer jobs.

So many factors in play here
War
Less large businesses
Less banks
Influences by technology.
Etc.

I'm not even sure fast food is a reliable last resort job since eating healthy is finally growing
