To learn more, see "The Employment Situation — April 2022" and Supplemental data measuring the effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the labor market. We also have more charts on employment and unemployment. These data refer to employed people who teleworked or worked at home for pay at some point in the past 4 weeks specifically because of the COVID–19 pandemic. This does not include those whose telework was unrelated to the pandemic, such as employed people who worked entirely from home before the pandemic. People whose ethnicity is Hispanic or Latino may be of any race.
