FIGURE 5.

Share of furloughed employees who asked to be furloughed

Note: The graph shows the share of currently furloughed employees who initiated furloughing. We construct a binary variable that takes the value of 1 if the respondent reports that they had an equal say in the furloughing decision, or the furloughing was initiated mostly or fully by them. Mothers or fathers are defined as respondents who have at least one child living in the household. The sample is restricted to respondents to the May survey wave.
