Notes: All models control for age, age squared, level of education, indicator of not having kids 0−17 and year, quarter and geographic units fixed effects. Job loss models also control for sector and type of employment. Q1P indicates the first quarter of the pandemic (2020Q2), Q2P and Q3P indicate the second and third quarters of the pandemic (2020Q3 and 2020Q4 respectively).

Notes: All models control for age, age squared, level of education, indicator of not having kids 0–17 and year, quarter and geographic units fixed effects. Job loss models also control for sector and type of employment. Low education defined as 0–8 years of education, medium level as 9–13, and high level as 14 years of education and more. Columns (1), (2) and (3) present results when low, medium and high level of education is the omitted category. Robust standard errors in parentheses; clustered at the individual level for LFP and Employment outcomes.
