我们研究了COVID-19对美国就业和工资影响的决定因素。在预分析计划的指导下，我们使用四个指标调查COVID-19对某些职业的经济后果是否更大：相对更容易接触疾病的工人，与同事接近的工人，必要/关键工人和可以轻松远程工作的工人。我们发现，在他人附近工作的个人受到的影响更大，而能够远程工作的个人和必要工作人员受到的影响较小。我们还提出了暗示性证据，表明我们的指数可能解释了为什么某些人口群体，如年轻和少数民族工人在大流行期间的劳动力市场结果更差。
We examine the determinants of the consequences of COVID-19 on employment and wages in the United States. Guided by a pre-analysis plan, we investigate whether the economic consequences of COVID-19 were larger for certain occupations, using four indexes: workers relatively more exposed to disease, workers that work with proximity to coworkers, essential/critical workers and workers who can easily work remotely. We find that individuals that work in proximity to others are more affected while individuals able to work remotely and essential workers are less affected by the pandemic. We also present suggestive evidence that our indexes are likely explanations why certain demographic groups such as younger and minority workers have worse labor market outcomes during the pandemic.
