The COVID-19 pandemic flipped our world upside down. Among other things, it had a dramatic effect on work & workers. Yet, particularly during the early days of the pandemic, this effect was unclear. 

EHSC researchers developed a survey to understand how workers and their families have been affected by COVID-19 – both on the job and at home. We also collaborated with several organizations to develop customized versions of the survey.

Many of these workers lack health insurance, paid time off or the most basic rights in the workplace—rights that others take for granted.

Many of these workers lack health insurance, paid time off or the most basic rights in the workplace that so many of us take for granted.
