The 2019–29 projections do not include impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and response efforts.
BLS has developed alternate scenarios for the 2019–29 projections that encompass possible impacts from the pandemic.

An analysis of these scenarios will be released in a Monthly Labor Review article in early 2021.
