An experimental U.S. Census Bureau household survey has been fielded each week since late April to track the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on households. This Insight provides some data from that survey, as well as links to research on the pandemic -induced recession's effects on households and policy responses to them. Not Working for Reasons Related to COVID-19 The Census survey asked respondents who were not working the week of the survey the reason they did not work, with several of the reasons related to the COVID- 19 pandemic. This is a different survey from that used to produce the regular monthly labor force statistics (employment and unemployment), which does not ask questions that are specific to the COVID- 19 pandemic. Figure 1 shows that the estimated number of people who reported not working for COVID-19-related reasons peaked during the week of May 7, 2020, at 48.8 million, and declined to 38.0 million during the week of June 25. The decline reversed in early July. For the week of July 9, a total of 41.3 million persons reported not working for COVID- 19-related reasons. The largest group are those not working because of COVID- 19's effect on business conditions (furloughs, layoffs, businesses closed).
