Researchers conducted a survey to understand workplace conditions for employed adults in the United States. They specifically wanted to know what percentage of workers needed to be physically close to other people—within six feet—for most or all of their workday at their main job. This type of information can be useful for understanding potential workplace exposures and planning for health and safety.
The survey report only describes the goal of the study and the question it asked. It does not provide the actual results. We do not know how many people reported working in close proximity to others, what types of jobs were involved, or if there were any differences based on location or industry. No specific numbers, percentages, or comparisons to other groups are available from this source.
Because the report does not include any findings, it is important for readers to know that this survey, by itself, tells us nothing about how common it is for US workers to be in close contact with others. The information is incomplete. Readers should view this as a description of a research question that was asked, not as a source of answers about current workplace conditions.
