Abstract: In September, employers added 661,000 jobs across the United States, a steep drop in pace from the 1.4 million jobs added in August and a considerable slowdown in the economic recovery experienced since the onset of the pandemic-induced recession in April. The modest recovery over the summer has been fueled by the adjustments that businesses made to cope with restrictions in indoor service, by providing retail and dining services outside. The arrival of cold winter weather has loomed over businesses across the U.S., creating significant concerns about the inability to continue current strategies that worked in warmer, summer months. As a result, there should be significant concern that winter will eliminate the ability to use outdoor spaces for physical distancing and result in a broader economic contraction, which could be made worse with a spike in COVID cases.
