Racial disparities are apparent in the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the United States, yet the factors contributing to racial inequities in COVID-19 mortality remain controversial To better understand these factors, we investigated racial disparities in COVID-19 mortality among America\'s essential workers Data from the American Community Survey and Current Population Survey was used to examine the correlation between the prevalence of COVID-19 deaths and occupational differences across racial/ethnic groups and states COVID-19 mortality was higher among non-Hispanic (NH) Blacks compared with NH Whites, due to more NH Blacks holding essential-worker positions Vulnerability to coronavirus exposure was increased among NH Blacks, who disproportionately occupied the top nine essential occupations As COVID-19 death rates continue to rise, existing structural inequalities continue to shape racial disparities in this pandemic Policies mandating the disaggregation of state-level data by race/ethnicity are vital to ensure equitable and evidence-based response and recovery efforts
