As many as 31% of workers who were initially added back to payrolls after COVID-19 layoffs have been laid off again, a study from Cornell University showed.
In addition, another 26% that have returned to work have been told by employers that they're at risk of another layoff or furlough, according to the study.
That's "a remarkably high number of people who were reemployed by businesses that may not be able to afford to keep them on," Daniel Alpert, Cornell Law School senior fellow and adjunct professor, told Business Insider.
