This report provides a summary of the number of jobs and the amount of payroll in Pennsylvania that comes from sectors classified as life-sustaining and non-life-sustaining based on May 2020 state orders. Please note that these estimates do not indicate how many jobs nor how much payroll was actually 'lost' as a result of the COVID-19 shutdown. While the longer-term economic impacts of the business shutdowns and reopening are not yet known, this report sheds light on the business environment during the most severe point of the shutdown to date (as of late September, 2020). County-specific information about jobs and payroll by life-sustaining status at the sector level are also available in the below appendix tables.
