Objective

Using data from the monthly Current Population Survey, this paper provides monthly employment and unemployment statistics for people with and without disabilities in the United States before and during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic to date (January 2021).

Design

Cross-sectional analysis of the Current Population Survey.

Setting

The United States.

Participants

People with and without disabilities ages 16-64 years.

Intervention

N/A

Main Outcome Measures

Percentage employed, percentage unemployed, percentage not in labor force, percentage on temporary layoff, percentage looking for work.

Results

Estimates show that, like workers without disabilities, workers with disabilities experienced increases in unemployment at the beginning of the pandemic but continued to remain engaged in the labor force. Our analysis finds that employment rates dropped from 74.8% to 63.2% for those without disabilities and from 31.1% to 26.4% for those with disabilities between February 2020 and April 2020 but gradually improved in the succeeding months.

Conclusions

As the pandemic continued, the percentage of unemployed people with and without disabilities on temporary layoff decreased and those looking for work increased.
