Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, many workers continued to report to work in-person. These workers faced a changed working environment, along with new health and safety concerns. The COVID-19 Workplace Project focuses on the experiences of these essential and in-person workers during the pandemic. We began surveying essential workers in Massachusetts at the start of the pandemic in April 2020, and since July have expanded the survey to include in person workers from multiple states. The project is coordinated by faculty from the Labor Center at the University of Massachusetts, Clare Hammonds and Jasmine Kerrissey.
