SUMMARY As expected, no industry is untouched by the effects of the global pandemic, and while the issues that affect them most vary, some concerns are universal. Economic recovery time, the financial stability of customers and vendors, and employee issues top the list. PPP loan forgiveness is on the radar, but lower-than-expected average levels of concern show it’s not the most compelling challenge. While some industries are facing devastating declines in the near term, others have identified new market needs and are experiencing significant growth and business expansion. And despite dramatic changes in business operations, morale is either very stable or on the upswing for the majority of survey respondents.
