Covid-19, Labor Demand, And Government Responses: Evidence From Job Posting Data, Xiaobing Shuai, Christine Chmura, James Stinchcomb

School of Professional and Continuing Studies Faculty Publications

Using high-frequency job advertisement data, this paper evaluates dynamics among COVID-19, labor market, and government policies.

The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) program helps to stabilize the advertised wages, but also suppresses labor demand. Finally, the pandemic may increase labor demand for certain healthcare-related …
