  • Jobs with the highest physical proximity are likely to be most disrupted.

  • COVID-19 has accelerated three broad trends that may reshape work after the pandemic recedes.

  • COVID-19 may propel faster adoption of automation and AI, especially in work arenas with high physical proximity.

  • As many as 25 percent more workers may need to switch occupations than before the pandemic.

  • Companies and policymakers can help facilitate workforce transitions.
