The economic and social shock presented by the Covid-19 pandemic is likely to reshape perceptions of individuals and organizations about work and occupations and result in both micro and macro shifts in the world of work. In this essay we focus on three occupationally-related domains that may be impacted by the pandemic. First, perceptions of the value and status of different occupations may change, resulting in both changes of occupational supply and demand (macro changes) and changes in the perceived calling and meaningfulness of different occupations (micro changes). Second, the great “work from home experiment” may change occupational perspectives on working from home. Organizations and researchers may be able to better understand which occupational and individual characteristics are associated with work-from-home effectiveness and better designate occupational groups and individuals to working (or not working) from home. Third, we discuss the increased segmentation of the labor market which allocate workers to “good jobs” and “bad jobs” and the contribution of occupational segmentation to inequality.

Covid-19大流行所带来的经济和社会冲击可能会重塑个人和组织对工作和职业的看法，并导致工作领域的微观和宏观转变。在本文中，我们重点关注可能受到大流行影响的三个与职业相关的领域。首先，对不同职业的价值和地位的看法可能会发生变化，从而导致职业供求的变化（宏观变化）以及不同职业的感知召唤和意义的变化（微观变化）。第二，伟大的“在家工作”可能会改变职业对在家工作的看法。组织和研究人员可能能够更好地了解哪些职业和个人特征与在家工作的效果相关，并更好地指定职业群体和个人去在家工作（或不在家工作）。第三，我们讨论了劳动力市场日益扩大的分割，这种分割将工人分配给“好工作”和“坏工作”，以及职业细分对不平等的贡献。
