Occupation and Educational Attainment Characteristics Associated With COVID-19 Mortality by Race and Ethnicity in California

Abstract

In this population-based cohort study of working-age California adults, occupational disadvantage was associated with excess COVID-19 mortality for Latinx men. For all racial and ethnic groups, excess risk associated with low-education, essential, on-site, and low-wage jobs accounted for a substantial fraction of COVID-19 mortality.
