Notes: Coefficients for Equation 1 using March (left), April (middle) and May (right) 2020 CPS Data for individuals on the labor force and with temporary absent from work as the dependent variable. Column (1) includes socio-demographic and job tasks’ characteristics. Column (2) adds the states’ epidemiological conditions as measured by their log exposure, interacted with occupation characteristics. Column (3) adds occupation and industries fixed effects. All models include state fixed effects. Standard errors from multi-way clustering at the state and occupation level in parentheses. Statistical significance level:
