C. Work Preferences

The expectation of respondents to work for pay or get a better job in the next year was relatively low. Those who responded positively to this question or who were not sure comprised just 25% of the responses (Table 4). Of those who indicated they expected to work or who were not sure, most expressed a preference to work part-time (Table 5) and from home (Table 6).
