Changes businesses have made to adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic, by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), business employment size, type of business, business activity and majority ownership.

The indicators and analysis presented in this bulletin are based on responses from the new voluntary fortnightly business survey, which captures businesses responses on how their turnover, workforce prices, trade and business resilience have been affected in the two week reference period. These data relate to the period 6 April 2020 to 19 April 2020.

Companies in the arts, entertainment and recreation sector have had to shut down their activity the most, since the beginning of the coronavirus crisis (COVID-19). Companies in this sector have been closed for an average of almost 100 days. The hotel industry was the second sector most affected by closures. The pharmaceutical industry was the least affected by closures. On average, French companies were closed for ** days in France.

As of September 2021, around ** percent of business that closed temporarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States have reopened. Businesses in the beauty services industries showed the best recovery with ** percent of their previously closed business locations reopened by September 2021.

In March, 2020 U.S. state governors in 44 states issued "do not leave home" orders and assigned "essential" designations to specific industries. We developed a catalog of closure policies (open, open with restrictions, closed) by state for industries whose designation was publicly questioned. The database which accompanies the article identifies restrictions imposed by each state.

The Research and Development Survey (RANDS) is a platform designed for conducting survey question evaluation and statistical research. RANDS is an ongoing series of surveys from probability-sampled commercial survey panels used for methodological research at the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). RANDS estimates are generated using an experimental approach that differs from the survey design approaches generally used by NCHS, including possible biases from different response patterns and sampling frames as well as increased variability from lower sample sizes. Use of the RANDS platform allows NCHS to produce more timely data than would be possible using traditional data collection methods. RANDS is not designed to replace NCHS’ higher quality, core data collections. Below are experimental estimates of loss of work due to illness with coronavirus for three rounds of RANDS during COVID-19. Data collection for the three rounds of RANDS during COVID-19 occurred between June 9, 2020 and July 6, 2020, August 3, 2020 and August 20, 2020, and May 17, 2021 and June 30, 2021. Information needed to interpret these estimates can be found in the Technical Notes. RANDS during COVID-19 included a question about the inability to work due to being sick or having a family member sick with COVID-19. The National Health Interview Survey, conducted by NCHS, is the source for high-quality data to monitor work-loss days and work limitations in the United States. For example, in 2018, 42.7% of adults aged 18 and over missed at least 1 day of work in the previous year due to illness or injury and 9.3% of adults aged 18 to 69 were limited in their ability to work or unable to work due to physical, mental, or emotional problems. The experimental estimates on this page are derived from RANDS during COVID-19 and show the percentage of U.S. adults who did not work for pay at a job or business, at any point, in the previous week because either they or someone in their family was sick with COVID-19.

Abstract

As part of the efforts of the World Bank Group to understand the impact of COVID-19 on the private sector, the Enterprise Analysis unit is conducting follow-up surveys on recently completed Enterprise Surveys (ES) in several countries. These short surveys follow the baseline ES and are designed to provide quick information on the impact and adjustments that COVID-19 has brought about in the private sector. The Zimbabwe Informal Businesses COVID-19 Impact Survey is different from the standard follow-up survey conducted by the unit in other countries, the major difference veing that this is not a follow-up survey.

Universe

The universe of inference is all registered establishments with five or more employees that are engaged in one of the following activities defined using ISIC Rev. 3.1: manufacturing (groupd D), construction (group F), services sector (groups G and H), transport, storage, and communcations sector (group I) and information technology (division 72 of group K)

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

The sample for the survey was selected using stratified random sampling, broadly following similar methodology explained in the ES Sampling Note. However, unlike ES that uses three levels of stratification (size, location, and sector), this survey uses two levels of stratification, namely location/region of the informal busines and the gender of the main business owner.

Stratifies random sampling was preferred over simple random sampling for several reasons: a. To obtain unbiased estimates for different subdivisions of the population with some known level of precision b. To obtain unbiased estimates for the whole population. The whole population, or universe of the study, is informal sector businesses operating in Zimbabwe. Informality is defined as any business that doesn't have registration from Zimbabwe Registrar of Companies. c. To make sure that the final total sample includes establishments from different regions and from businesses owned by male and femal. d. To exploit the benefits of stratifies sampling where population estimates, in most cases, will be more precise than using a simple random sampling method (i.e. lower standard errors, other things being equal.) e. Stratification may produce a smaller bound on the error of estimation than would be produced by a simple random sample of the same size. This result is particularly true if measurements within strata are homogeneous. f. The cost per observation in the survey may be reduced by stratification of the population elements into convenient groupings.

The American Rescue Plan Act established the Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF) to provide funding to help restaurants and other eligible businesses keep their doors open. This program provided restaurants with funding equal to their pandemic-related revenue loss up to $10 million per business and no more than $5 million per physical location. Recipients are not required to repay the funding as long as funds are used for eligible uses no later than March 11, 2023. This dataset details New York State recipients of RRF funds.
