Professionals in the health care sector on all continents report being infected by the COVID-19 virus above average. Other occupational groups who bear the brunt of the corona pandemic are found in teaching, retail, food preparation and personal care. Within these professional groups it is women above the age of 30 who appear to be hit more frequently than men, as well as their professional peers below the age of 30.:

Its aim is to discern labour market trends as a consequence of the corona pandemic on the global economy. It should be noted that indications are tentative.
