These workers’ jobs are most at risk around the world

The COVID-19 pandemic is devastating labor markets across the world. Tens of millions of workers lost their jobs, millions more are out of the labor force altogether, and many occupations face an uncertain future. Social distancing measures threaten jobs requiring physical presence at the workplace or face-to-face interactions. Those unable to work remotely, unless deemed essential, face a significantly higher risk of reductions in hours or pay, temporary furloughs, or permanent layoffs.
