Notes: N = 124,288. All workers were employed and at work in February. Standard errors in parentheses are clustered by household. Control variables include a quadratic in age and the number of extra household adults (besides a spouse or cohabiter) and indicators for older than age 65, month (March, April, May), marital status, cohabitation status, gender, education (high school, some college, bachelor’s degree, advanced degree), race (African-American, other race), Hispanic ethnicity, any household child age < 6, any household child age 6–17, plausible remote job, job in essential industry, immigrant status, spouse employment, spouse has remote job, spouse works in essential industry, lives in a metropolitan area, own major industry, own major occupation, spouse major industry, and state fixed effects; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01
