Notes: This table show Oaxaca decomposition of gap in the proportion of workers recently unemployed, replicating our Model A with the covariate “Remote Working” replaced with “teleworkable” from Dingel and Neiman (2020). The upper panel shows the results from using April 2020 sample while the lower panel shows the results from May 2020 sample. Entries in bold are statistically significant at the 5 % level.
