Lost and Found? Job Loss and Recovery in Rural America during COVID-19

Abstract

COVID-19 disrupted economic activity throughout the United States in 2020. The employment losses were less severe in rural areas than in urban areas. Both rural and urban areas experienced partial employment recovery in subsequent months but were still significantly worse off through December 2020 than before the pandemic.
