Navigating the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Survey of U.S. Employers

As the worst public health crisis in more than a century, the COVID-19 pandemic upended the U.S. economy and everyday life. While much attention has been given to the economic effects of the pandemic, relatively little has been statistically reported about how employers have navigated these challenging times.

Navigating the Pandemic: A Survey of U.S. Employers examines the pandemic’s impact on employers, their response, and timely opportunities. The research report is based on a survey of more than 1,900 employers conducted during November and December 2020. It includes an analysis by company size, including small (less than 100), medium (100 to 499), and large for-profit companies (500-plus employees).
