Healthcare and non-healthcare essential workers working in face-to-face interactions during COVID-19 may be vulnerable to psychosocial distress. Limited empirical research on COVID-19-related psychosocial outcomes has utilized probability-based samples including both healthcare and non-healthcare essential workers. We surveyed a sample of 1,821 United States self-identified essential workers, collected using probability-based methods, working in face-to-face interactions during the early phase of the COVID-19 outbreak (3/18/20–4/18/20), in three consecutive 10-day cohorts. We assessed acute stress, health-related worries, and functional impairment. Demographics, secondary stressors (lack of childcare or healthcare, lost wages), and pre-COVID-19 mental and physical health were examined as predictors of psychological outcomes. Acute stress (β=.08, p=.001), health-related worries (β=.09, p=.001), and functional impairment (β=.05, p=.034) increased over time in the early weeks of the outbreak. Healthcare-essential workers reported lower functional impairment (β= −.06, p=.009) and acute stress (β =−.05, p=.015) compared to non-healthcare essential workers. Across the sample, prior mental and physical health ailments, inability to obtain health insurance, lost wages, younger age, female gender, and Hispanic ethnicity were associated with acute stress (βs=−.14 to .15, ps≤.001), health-related worries (βs=−.09–.14, ps≤.001), and functional impairment (βs=−.08 to .16, ps≤.006). Lack of childcare (β=.09, p<.001) was positively associated with acute stress. Non-healthcare essential workers may be vulnerable to negative psychosocial outcomes. Targeted training and support may help facilitate coping with the effects of working in-person during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Findings may help inform intervention efforts, critical as COVID-19 becomes endemic and society must learn to live with its evolving variants.
