AbstractMore than a year after its discovery, COVID-19 continues to have a profound effect on our society. Its impacts extend far beyond the direct physical health effects: the consequences of school and work closures affect labor supply and demand, financial health, mental health, and the global economy. Even as vaccines have become available, economic recovery is likely to be uneven, with larger impacts among those who are already financially and psychologically vulnerable, including working parents and service sector workers who already bear the greatest burden of unstable employment and low wages. This project will collect new data on the experiences of working Americans for the period 2021 - mid-2022 to shed light on what factors are associated with the economic and mental health outcomes in the later stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal of the proposed data collection is to trace the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and differential policy responses on mental health and labor market outcomes in order to enhance the understanding of the links between employment, working conditions, financial well-being, and mental health. The project is aimed to collect longitudinal survey data in the RAND American Life Panel (ALP), a nationally representative, probability-based panel of U.S. adult participants who are regularly interviewed over the internet. The proposed data collection will enable analysis of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and policy response by industry, occupation, and location on individuals’ employment, earnings, and productivity, as well as their financial well-being and mental health. Standard surveys do not capture sufficient information about employers’ accommodations, employees’ adaptive behaviors, or individual-level links between employment outcomes, financial well-being, and psychological distress to address these questions. The proposed data collection will build on prior NSF-funded surveys examining American workers’ experiences during the first year and a half of the pandemic. Moreover, the proposed data collection will build on prior work examining a comprehensive set of American working conditions prior to the pandemic using data that are harmonized to a large, long-running survey of working conditions in Europe that continued into the pandemic.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在发现COVID-19一年多后，COVID-19继续对我们的社会产生深远影响。它的影响远远超出了直接的身体健康影响：学校和工作场所关闭的后果影响劳动力供求，财务健康，心理健康和全球经济。即使疫苗已经上市，经济复苏也可能是不均衡的，对经济和心理上已经脆弱的人的影响更大，包括工作的父母和服务部门的工人，他们已经承受了就业不稳定和低工资的最大负担。该项目将收集2021年至2022年中期美国工薪阶层经历的新数据，以揭示哪些因素与COVID-19大流行后期的经济和心理健康结果相关。 拟议数据收集的目标是追踪COVID-19大流行和不同政策应对对心理健康和劳动力市场结果的影响，以加强对就业、工作条件、财务状况和心理健康之间联系的理解。该项目旨在收集兰德美国生活小组（ALP）的纵向调查数据，ALP是一个具有全国代表性的基于概率的美国成年参与者小组，他们定期通过互联网接受采访。拟议的数据收集将有助于分析COVID-19大流行和政策应对对行业、职业和地点的个人就业、收入和生产力，以及他们的财务状况和心理健康的影响。标准的调查并没有捕捉到足够的信息，如雇主的适应性，员工的适应性行为，或个人层面的就业结果，财务状况和心理困扰之间的联系，以解决这些问题。拟议中的数据收集将建立在之前由国家科学基金会资助的调查的基础上，这些调查研究了美国工人在大流行的第一年半期间的经历。此外，拟议的数据收集将建立在之前的工作，研究一套全面的美国工作条件之前，使用的数据是协调的一个大规模，长期的调查工作条件在欧洲，继续到大流行。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得支持的评估使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
