Depends on perceived value for the money. There was a reason that subset didn't spend the money before (frugal, not poor), but some might change their minds if they like the product.

No, I mean 75%. I could show you the data but then my employer would have a problem with sharing actual company information.

Long story short. We didn't take CARES money. We won't be furloughing. And business has rebounded so fast that they are scrambling to bring people back into the Ops center from home.

I have plenty of friends in the 121 world and I'm just hoping they experience a similar rebound.
