Disney workers also become the economic causality of Coronavirus!

According to BBC Paris has announced that it will be getting rid of 28,000 jobs majority from its theme park in the United States, where attendance has been crushed due to Coronavirus. 67% of the employees laid off will be part-time workers. The lay-offs will eventually affect Disney Parks, Experiences and product units.

When the pandemic began the happiest place on earth- Disney Land had to shut down. But with ease in lockdown, it has started off again with a limited number of visitors to allow physical distancing.

“We have made the very difficult decision to begin the process of reducing our workforce at our Parks, Experiences and Products segment at all levels,” Josh D’Amaro, chairman of the parks unit, said in a statement.

He cited the parks’ limited capacity and uncertainty about the pandemic’s duration, which he said was “exacerbated in California by the state’s unwillingness to lift restrictions that would allow Disneyland to reopen.”

Many industries have been affected by the pandemic and mostly the tourism industry or parks which thrive due to people in masses coming in. Many countries around the world have laid-off employees to survive which will, in turn, increase the unemployment ratio.
