The Employment Picture When sorting through jobs data, the University of Chicago researchers looked at employment rather than unemployment figures, which tend to be noisier and difficult to compare. For instance, in the May jobs report, the U. Labor Department said the unemployment rate was 13. 3% but would have been higher if not for "misclassification error. " With the exception of essential workers, large swaths of service sector workers have filed for unemployment, according to June 2020 data. Who lost jobs People who worked in close proximity to others were more likely to lose their jobs as a result of shelter-in-place policies. The United States passed the nearly $3 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act in March, the country's largest-ever economic stimulus package, to help Americans financially impacted by the pandemic. The CARES Act added $600 a week to unemployment benefits, though that federal aid is due to expire at the end of July. The Trump administration and lawmakers are considering another stimulus package to extend unemployment benefits, but Mongey said he has not heard enough discussion of what would happen if workers don't want to return to work until they feel safe.
These jobs tend to pay lower wages, and employees have to be on site and work in close proximity to others, the study found. With the exception of essential workers, large swaths of these types of workers have filed for unemployment, according to June 2020 data. Same pandemic, different struggles Both studies highlight the split between two broad classifications of jobs: those in consumer services and production versus those in professional, management and technology services. Professional, management and technology jobs run the gamut from accountants and architects to lawyers, insurance underwriters and web developers. This group is much more likely to retain the privilege of collecting a paycheck while working remotely, and is based in major metropolitan areas, like New York and Los Angeles. Services and production jobs include those in farm, fish and forestry, personal care and protection. Rural communities such as Lancaster in Pennsylvania or Cape Coral-Fort Myers in Florida have the lowest percentage of jobs that can be done from home.

New normals When the pandemic shut down the campus at the University of Chicago, economists Jonathan I. Dingel and Brent Neiman had to pivot to teaching remotely. Stuck at home learning to navigate Zoom, they wondered how many other people were experiencing the same upheaval. Their curiosity led them to collaborate on a paper for the first time: "How Many Jobs Can be Done at Home? " Their analysis became a launching point for two other economists at the university, Simon Mongey and Alexander Weinberg, who worked with Federal Reserve Bank of New York economist Laura Pilossoph to explore the broader economic impact of the pandemic and draw a picture of the types of workers who would struggle the most. Collectively, their research proves with data much of what had been known only anecdotally: the disparate experiences of different classes of workers during the pandemic depended on their ability to work from home. As businesses across the country begin to reopen, 81 percent of American adults are "very" or "somewhat" concerned about the spread of COVID-19, according to the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll.
