Employment Status Linked to Long COVID Symptoms

JAMA Network

About The Study: Among 15,000 individuals with prior COVID-19 infection, those with post–COVID-19 condition (PCC), also known as long COVID, were less likely to be employed full-time and more likely to be unemployed. The presence of cognitive symptoms was associated with diminished likelihood of working full time. These results underscore the importance of developing strategies to treat and manage PCC symptoms.
