The Impact of COVID-19 on US Workers and Households

Welcome

The economic situation of many US workers and households has done a complete 180 since the emergence of COVID-19. In a previously tight labor market, unemployment rates were at record lows, wages were accelerating, and job satisfaction was rising.

The improvement in labor market conditions, especially for blacks, Hispanics, and workers with lower earnings and education, had led to a reduction in poverty rates and wage inequality. But the COVID-19 crisis is hitting vulnerable populations especially hard and will likely lead to a reversal of these trends.
