Very good comment. I think you can call it metastability. Or Wiley E Coyote running off the edge of the cliff. He doesn't realise it until he looks down.
A lot of people, more than most of us realise, are stuck living hand to mouth. No time or money to train themselves up to do something different. No way to build the networks that are often needed to transition. That feeling of having to run to stay still.
When the treadmill stops you have to do something. Perhaps it's swallowing your pride and borrowing money from a friend, or moving back in with the parents, but I reckon a lot of people discovered that when they needed it there was some credit in the system, note to mention actual credit in the form of government help.
So now all those people who were busy being busy have some time to actually think about what they want to do.
