Due to the safety restrictions put in place during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, many museums worldwide had to close to the public. As a result, some institutions furloughed or laid off staff in order to face the financial losses caused by closures. According to an October 2020 study, employees of U.S. museums working for guest services, admissions, frontline, and retail were the most affected by these budget-cutting measures. Overall, 68 percent of surveyed institutions claimed to have furloughed or laid off staff working in frontline positions. Meanwhile, 40 percent of museums involved in the study implemented furloughs or layoffs to employees working in education departments.
