Numbers, Facts and Trends Shaping Your World
While the CDC has pointed to some possible factors that may be contributing to this pattern, the public is divided in its perceptions.
Here’s what our surveys have found about how Americans across the age spectrum have experienced the coronavirus pandemic.
37% of those ages 18 to 29 say they moved, someone moved into their home or they know someone who moved because of the outbreak.
Between February and June 2020, the share of young adults who are neither enrolled in school nor employed has more than doubled.
65% of U.S. adults say that they have personally worn a mask in stores or other businesses all or most of the time in the past month.
More than four-in-ten U.S. businesses with paid employees are in industries likely to be financially affected more deeply by the outbreak.
Distress levels changed little overall from March to April, but this concealed considerable change at the individual level over this period.
90% of the decrease in employment between February and March arose from positions that could not be teleworked.
Nearly one-in-four U.S. workers are employed in the industries most likely to feel an immediate impact from the COVID-19 outbreak.
The COVID-19 pandemic sent many on the move to places other than their usual residence – and they may not know where or how to be counted.
