Nate Mullins, a former bartender from Oak, Harbor, Wash., who quit his job last November after clashing with managers over enforcing mask rules, poses for a photo Monday, May 17, 2021, in Mount Vernon, Wash. There's a wild card in the push to return to post-pandemic life: many workers don't want to return to the jobs they once had. Mullins' unemployment checks don't match what he was making at the bar, but they're enough to get by while he looks for jobs that would provide health care and retirement benefits.

FILE - The logo for Uber appears above a trading post on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Thursday, May 30, 2019. Uber has reported that it whittled its losses at the end of a topsy-turvy year. In 2020, the ride-hailing service was forced to rely more heavily on its food-delivery service. That's because the pandemic dramatically reduced the number of people willing to hop into a car driven by a stranger. The fourth-quarter results announced Wednesday, Feb. 10, 2021 drew a picture of a company making strides in its attempt to recover from a staggering blow delivered last March.
