Viewpoint AB data show that #COVID19 affected the income and employment situations of many Albertans, creating additional financial hardships. Between March-Aug 2020, 27% of Albertans reported employment changes and 53% reported declining incomes due to #COVID19. 
All Albertans did not face the same hardships. Women, racial minorities, younger gens, and urban residents more often experienced income declines. #AbLeg
Income declines also varied political affiliation and separatist views. Separatists were especially likely to have lost income. #wexit
Albertans’ experiences with #COVID19 influenced their economic perspectives. Although 68% of respondents with COVID-19-related income declines reported worsening economic situations compared to 2019, they were also more optimistic that things would improve in the upcoming year.
Viewpoint AB Survey findings show that households with COVID-19-related income declines were less able to meet their monthly expenses and less likely to be able to accommodate an emergency expense.
