Yet they are more likely to have a job than before the pandemic

these days. A new analysis finds that the number of American adults reporting that they have a disability has risen sharply since the pandemic—but has not made them less likely to work. The number-crunching, by Andrew Hunter of Capital Economics, a consultancy, draws on data from the Current Population Survey , a monthly household survey conducted by the Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labour Statistics.

Precisely why the pandemic has boosted disability rates is unclear, though the types of disabilities that are on the rise suggest that long covid is to blame. Theasks respondents to report whether they have “serious difficulty” in six categories: hearing; seeing; concentrating, remembering or making decisions; walking; dressing or bathing; and doing errands. Historically trends in such conditions have changed together over time.

This is concerning. But it has not yet had the economic effects you might expect. Indeed, whereas in past recessions claims for disability insurance have typically gone up, after the pandemic such claims fell. The labour-force participation rate of working-age Americans with disabilities has increased too, from 33% before the pandemic to nearly 40% today. Here again covid is probably a factor.
