The paper looks at and compares two methods of on-the-job training: formal training and learning by doing. The former involves an intensive training period prior to the employee directly taking on the position for which he or she was hired for, while the latter, the employee begins immediately and is expected to learn on his or her own through experience over time. The former method allows less room for shirking but involves a period of investment in the form of the value of output or service that is effectively foregone as a result of the more resource-intensive training regime. Perhaps surprisingly, even if the formal training program does not significantly improve upon the probability of future success in production or service provision, formal training can provide higher net benefits to the training firm than learning by doing because the savings from the reduction in shirking can be greater than the cost of foregone output.

Early research hypothesized impacts of COVID-19 on agricultural workers, food supply, and rural health systems based on population characteristics from data collected preceding the pandemic. Trends confirmed a vulnerable workforce and limits to field sanitation, housing quality, and healthcare. Less is known about eventual, realized impacts. This article uses the Current Population Survey's COVID-19 monthly core variables from May 2020 through September 2022 to document actual impacts. Summary statistics and statistical models for the probability of being unable to work reveal that 6 to 8% of agricultural workers were unable to work early in the pandemic and that impacts were disproportionately negative for Hispanics and those with children. An implication is that targeted policies based on vulnerabilities may minimize disparate impacts of a public health shock. Understanding the full impacts of COVID-19 on essential labor remains important for economics, public policy, and food systems in addition to public health.
