From 2020-2021 research in Minnesota finds some critical occupations, such as transportation and logistics, construction, and food service, experienced higher excess mortality than did other critical occupations, such as health care, K-12 school staff, and agriculture. In almost all occupations investigated, workers of color experienced higher excess mortality than did White workers.

The standardized mortality rate among Florida’s prisoners increased by 45% between 2019 and 2020, causing an overall 4-year decline in life expectancy, attributed entirely to COVID-19. Florida state population's standardized mortality increased by 19% during that time, resulting in an overall 2.7-year decline in life expectancy. #NICHDImpact #Florida #Prisons #Covid19 #Mortality
