Notes: This table shows Oaxaca decomposition of gap in the proportion of workers recently unemployed in May, 2019. Entries in bold are statistically significant at the 5% level. Model A includes two indexes describing occupational characteristics: the Face-to-Face index and Remote Working index. Model B includes a full set of 523 occupation dummies. Model C includes a full set of 523 occupation dummies and 261 industry dummies. All models include basic socio-demographic controls, including age, age squared, gender, race, ethnicity, education, and state fixed effects. All regressions use CPS sample weights. In Models B and C, we reported the aggregated shares of explanation by the 523 occupations, while we list the shares of explanation by five occupation categories in Table A13.4. For Model C, we report the shares of explanation of industries in two groups: essential industry and non-essential industry.
