Evolution of Labor Demand during the COVID-19 Pandemic and Jobs of the Future
preprint
OA: closed
Abstract
We study the evolution of labor demand during the COVID-19 pandemic using detailed online job posting data. Following the Wuhan lockdown, firms adjusted their hiring practices swiftly. The response exhibits substantial heterogeneity across different industries. We also document that the labor market tightened more for industry-specific positions relative to general-purpose positions that are employed in all industries. Our findings highlight the dimension of job generality in ongoing job evolution.
