<p>A little more than a year after Governor Gavin Newsom instituted the lockdowns, nearly a third of California restaurants have closed permanently.</p>
<p class="Component-root-0-2-85 Component-p-0-2-76">According to The <a href="https://apnews.com/article/california-lifestyle-coronavirus-pandemic-business-health-d4deaa45439a906fcdfac2f0e12b1880">Associated Press</a>, California&#8217;s lockdowns have left the food industry battered and bruised in the Golden State. Prior to the pandemic, up to 76,000 eating and drinking establishments employed up to 1.8 million people. Those numbers dropped precipitously as the lockdowns continued throughout 2020 and into 2021. Though the state has eased restrictions over the past few weeks, about two-third of the industry&#8217;s employees lost their jobs at least temporarily and employment remains a quarter below what had existed prior to the pandemic.</p>
