Eurofound published a report which takes stock of the impact of the public health crisis on the labour market and on the employment structure five quarters after the emergence of the virus. The report describes the employment and working time developments by sector and occupation through the first year of the crisis. It explores which categories of workers were most affected - primarily temporary workers, the young and low-paid women. It also assesses the extent to which remote working served as a buffer during the crisis, preserving jobs that might otherwise have been lost.
