Enduring Outcomes Of COVID-19 Work Absences On US Labor Market

JAMA Network

About The Study: In this cohort study of employed workers in the U.S., the new year-round baseline for work absences appeared to be on par with the levels formerly confined to pre-pandemic influenza season conditions. Policymakers should consider the consequences for workers, including the value of policies and actions that mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace. This study additionally highlights the potential for using nationally representative labor market data to monitor the impacts of public health crises.
