Regression results of change in log industry employment between February and May 2020 estimated by ordinary least squares (unweighted). Explanatory variables in Column 1 are the shares of customer-facing, teamwork-intensive and presence-requiring workers. Column 2 controls for the change in log monthly visits to industry establishments. Column 3 interacts the change in visits with the share of face-to-face intensive workers in the two occupation groups. Robust standard errors are reported in parentheses. p-values are denoted by asterisk: * <.1 ** <.05 *** <.01. Sample excludes hospitals, clinics, and government establishments, as well as farming and fishing which are not present in CBP.
