本文调查了家庭对COVID-19疫情在就业和消费方面的反应的社会人口差异。我们发现，在大流行期间观察到的就业方面的显著种族差异可以部分解释为家庭收入、组成、教育和职业分类的差异。尽管如此，当我们关注家庭粮食不安全和个人在大流行期间对社会保险计划和其他政府援助的依赖时，我们记录了普遍的种族，收入和教育梯度。总体而言，我们的研究结果强调，在COVID-19危机爆发后，家庭收入和教育方面观察到的差异往往是最显著和最普遍的。(JEL J21、J24、J63、I38）
This article investigates the socio-demographic differences in household responses to the COVID-19 pandemic regarding employment and consumption. We find that the significant racial disparities in employment observed during the pandemic can be explained, in part, by differences in household income, composition, education, and occupational sorting. Nonetheless, we document pervasive racial, income, and educational gradients when focusing on household food insecurity and individuals' reliance on social insurance programs and other government assistance during the pandemic. Overall, our results highlight that the disparities observed for household income and education tend to be the most significant and most pervasive following the onset of the COVID-19 crisis.
