"K-shaped" recovery
An economic recovery in which many of the rich the trend is upward and they benefit or gain new advantages, while many others the downward trend makes suffering worse. This is especially true for those without a support system.
The "K-shaped" recovery was not the same for the poor as the rich. For the poor it is a downward trajectory into poverty.
"K-shaped" economic recovery
An economic recovery in which the wealthiest benefit or gain new advantages from the recovery while everyone else continues to suffer and for the some and most poorest maters continually gets worse.
The "k-shaped" economic recovery was not a recovery for the poor, it was a downward spiral into poverty.
