Notes: ∗p < 0.10, ∗∗p < 0.05, ∗∗∗p < 0.01 Standard errors in parentheses. Interaction coefficients are relative to Q1 2019. Models include demographic controls for age, gender, race, and education attainment of Bachelor's degree and are weighted by working age (18–64) population size, as calculated from CPS data. Essential jobs are based on Department of Homeland Security's “Identifying Critical Infrastructure During COVID-19” guidelines. Our definition of teleworkable jobs comes from Dingel and Neiman (2020). Frontline jobs are those that are essential and not teleworkable.
