Table shows the estimated linear regression coefficients of the change in employment on standardized measures of viral transmission risk, where one observation corresponds to a four‐digit occupation. Standard errors are in parentheses and are clustered at the two‐digit occupation level. Statistical significance is denoted by ** at the 1% level, * at the 5% level and at the 10% level. Health occupations are excluded from the sample. Regressions are weighted by the share of 2019 employment in a given four‐digit occupation.
