Workers with a master’s degree had the fewest jobs lost in March & April 2020. This demographic was more likely to be employed in fields that could adapt to remote work or had a lower impact from the pandemic, such as education, healthcare, and technology sectors. In contrast, workers with lower educational attainment often faced more job losses due to the nature of their employment, which tended to be in industries more directly affected by shutdowns.
