LABOUR, 2023, vol. 37, issue 2, 280-318

Abstract: The massive shift towards teleworking during the COVID pandemic relatively deteriorated working conditions of people occupying positions that could not be teleworked because they were more exposed to the risk of infection. Exploiting French data, we analyse the differential changes in sorting across occupations of immigrants and natives during years preceding the pandemic. Immigrants sorted relatively more into occupations intensive in non‐routine manual tasks. These occupations cannot be teleworked. We find an increase in immigrants' sorting into occupations intensive in non‐routine interactive and analytical tasks. However, in contrast with natives, immigrants were moving away from occupations intensively using new technologies.
