THE PANDEMIC OF EVENTS: IMPACT OF PANDEMIC RESTRICTIONS ON LAYOUTS IN THE EVENTS SECTOR IN THE STATE OF RIO GRANDE DO SUL
The effects of the Coronavirus pandemic have caused irreparable damage to modern society. With a dose of uncertainty associated with a portion of biased policies and controversial information, in Brazil, several economic sectors were paralyzed for several moments, geographically disordered, resulting in loss of competitiveness. Some segments were more affected than others, as their main activity is bringing people together, as is the case in the Events sector. To understand the impact of the sector, Grupo Foto Sul, an important photographic industry that develops and manufactures products sold by studios, graduation companies and image professionals throughout Brazil, carried out a quantitative survey among the brand's partners in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. This took place in two stages, the first from 06/24/2020 to 07/06/2020 and the second from 12/22/2020 to 01/15/2021 resulting in 703 responses from 600 unique respondents in 91 municipalities in the state. Thus, being the largest research related to the segment in the state during the pandemic period. The present study analyzed data from the second stage, with 289 observations, and aims to understand the impact of the pandemic in relation to jobs lost in the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic, as opposed to those that would still be lost at the time of the research. In the analysis, it was also observed whether or not the companies expected to dismiss more people in the following months, as well as the estimated amount; your industry and average monthly revenue before the restrictions.

Abstract:
The effects of the Coronavirus pandemic have caused irreparable damage to modern society. With a dose of uncertainty associated with a portion of biased policies and controversial information, in Brazil, several economic sectors were paralyzed for several moments, geographically disordered, resulting in loss of competitiveness. Some segments were more affected than others, as their main activity is bringing people together, as is the case in the Events sector. To understand the impact of the sector, Grupo Foto Sul, an important photographic industry that develops and manufactures products sold by studios, graduation companies and image professionals throughout Brazil, carried out a quantitative survey among the brand's partners in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. This took place in two stages, the first from 06/24/2020 to 07/06/2020 and the second from 12/22/2020 to 01/15/2021 resulting in 703 responses from 600 unique respondents in 91 municipalities in the state. Thus, being the largest research related to the segment in the state during the pandemic period. The present study analyzed data from the second stage, with 289 observations, and aims to understand the impact of the pandemic in relation to jobs lost in the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic, as opposed to those that would still be lost at the time of the research. In the analysis, it was also observed whether or not the companies expected to dismiss more people in the following months, as well as the estimated amount; your industry and average monthly revenue before the restrictions.
