The definition of an “essential worker” was established as someone society requires to continue with their job duties as normal; however, the workers are often not compensated for their additional risks of contracting COVID-19. This study estimates the proportion of essential workers and discusses their economic vulnerabilities through identifying risk factors.
48% of essential workers were found to live with at least one of the three risks and 13% were categorized as living in high-risk households.
