Pandemic spurs many bankruptcies in North Carolina
Deputy sheriff Diyrone Solomon filed for bankruptcy after his second job hours were cut during the pandemic, joined by Robin Hullett and her husband Kevin from Burnsville and Elizabeth McIntosh and her husband John due to medical bills and health limits. More than 3,000 NC residents filed April through September, signaling a reprieve but prompting concerns of a surge once relief ends. The North Carolina News Collaborative reports this as part of Bouncing Back: North Carolina's Economic Journey to Recovery with Pulitzer Center support.
