Working conditions aren't the only reason. I would remind you that interpreters were always physically present on the job throughout the pandemic, although some of them may be working remotely now. There are many reasons that have to be considered. Their working conditions are quite intense and the work is fast paced. Interpreters work long hours on site, but I believe they do their work with passion and pride.
