Participation? Not Much (So Far)
*Source:*               Brookings
*Author:*               Louise Sheiner and Nasiha Salwati
*Date:*                   October 27, 2022
*Summary:*          There is growing evidence that some people infected
with the COVID-19 virus experience long-run health problems known as long
COVID, potentially leading them to drop out of the labor force. At the same
time, the advent of remote work might have increased the participation of
people with disabilities. We use data from the Current Population Survey
(CPS) to assess the effects of long COVID and remote work on the labor
force participation and work hours of people with disabilities.
