7. 2020 Highlights
• COVID-19 Impacted Our World, Greatly
– A Major Impact on 2 of 3 of Us
• It Changed How We Assessed Our Biggest Problem/ Challenges
– Public Health to 1st
– Crime at second, though down (in share) from last year
– The Economy, up from 7% in 2019 to 15% this year
– Race Relations to 4th, up from 4% last year to 12%
– Transportation falls to 5th place (from the top)
• It Changed Our Employment/ Economic Stability and Health Situation(s)
– Almost all pre-pandemic workers had COVID-19 disintegrate, or greatly alter, their work life
– More stress on dealing with the basics and with financial emergencies
– Concern with Health (obviously) increased, and Delay in Health Care pervasive
• It Laid Bare Inequities in our Society
– We DO perceive discrimination...some more than others
– EVERYONE needs education about the extent of the gaps
– We perceive, to some degree, a need for nuanced management of societal ills
• …But We Still Have Hope for the Future
– A slight increase in those seeing things as getting better in the next 3-4 years
