Summary

Students from the 2020 UCLA Labor Summer Research Program, a six-week concurrent seminar and field research class founded by the UCLA Labor Center and taught under the UCLA Labor Studies program, released a research brief with new data on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the worker and learner population. Based on 138 surveys and 25 interviews, the brief Workers and Learners during a Global Pandemic and Social Uprising documents how the academic, employment, and life experiences of workers and learners changed since the onset of the global health crisis.
