How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected the financial health of Americans?
In our large-scale survey, respondents were asked whether the COVID-19 pandemic caused a major, minor, or no threat to their financial situation. For those respondents who answered that the pandemic created at least a minor threat to their finances, we asked them to share how their finances were threatened.
Using the open-ended responses and the Twitter handles shared by respondents, we can expand the information we have about the effect of COVID-19 on the economy by analyzing the respondents’ social media posts to better understand the relationship between concerns shared on the survey and concerns shared on social media.
