Long Covid, a combination of symptoms that emerge months or even years after recovering from the virus, is keeping up to 4 million Americans from working, according to a new study.<\/p>\n<p>The Brookings Institution report, released Wednesday, finds that about 16 million working-age Americans (between the ages of 18 and 65) have long Covid today.<br \/>\nPeople suffering from long Covid face a range of symptoms that can make it challenging to work, including brain fog, anxiety, depression, fatigue and breathing problems. <\/p>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p>Brookings estimates that 2 to 4 million people are out of work due to long Covid. The midpoint of that range &#8212; 3 million full-time equivalent workers &#8212; represents a sizable 1.8% of the entire US civilian labor force, the report said. <\/p>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p>The findings come as many industries, including education, restaurants and healthcare, struggle with serious labor shortages that are contributing to the worst inflation in four decades. <\/p>\n<p>The economy had 10.7 million unfilled jobs as of June. Although that&#8217;s down from recent record highs, it&#8217;s still well above pre-Covid levels of 7 million.<br \/>\nThe economic cost from long Covid is significant. <\/p>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p>Based on the average US wage of $1,106 per week, Brookings estimates the absence of 3 million people from the workforce because of long Covid translates to about $168 billion a year in lost earnings.<br \/>\nHowever, that sum does not include the full economic burden of long Covid, Brookings said, a burden that includes the cost of lower productivity of people working while sick, the health care costs and the lost productivity of caretakers.<br \/>\n&#8220;If long Covid patients don&#8217;t begin recovering at greater rates, the economic burden will continue to rise,&#8221; the Brookings authors wrote.<br \/>\nThey find that if the long Covid population grows by just 10% each year, after 10 years the annual cost of lost wages will amount to half a trillion dollars. <\/p>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;These impacts stand to worsen over time if the US does not take the necessary policy actions,&#8221; the Brookings authors said.<br \/>\nThey call for at least five government actions to ease the economic burden of long Covid: better prevention and treatment; expanded paid sick leave; improved workplace accommodations; wider access to disability insurance; and enhanced data collection.<br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2022\/08\/25\/economy\/long-covid-work\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York (CNN Business)The pandemic continues to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":162698,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23051],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
