At least 10 percent of the total working population of Tagbilaran City had their jobs temporarily or permanently affected, independent think tank Step Up Consulting
has pointed out.
The research
“Assessing the Socio-Economic Impact of COVID-19 on Tagbilaran City” was released Thursday, July 23 at covidimpactresearch.com
It said Tagbilaranons lost their jobs as a direct consequence of the forced closure of establishments when the city was placed under Enhanced Community Quarantine.
Barangay Cogon has the most number of workers (1,784) whose jobs were temporarily or permanently suspended, followed by Booy (853 workers), and Poblacion II (682 workers).
Step Up Consulting, a local firm based in Tagbilaran City but with projects across the globe, volunteered to conduct the assessment.
