AB  - Objectives. To describe which industries have the highest burden of COVID-19 
      outbreaks in California. Methods. We assigned US census industry codes to 
      COVID-19 outbreaks reported to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) 
      from January 1, 2020, to August 31, 2021, and determined numbers of outbreaks, 
      numbers of outbreak-associated cases, and outbreak incidence levels by industry. 
      We determined characteristics of outbreak-associated cases using individual case 
      data linked to COVID-19 outbreaks. Results. Local health departments reported 
      19 893 COVID-19 outbreaks and 300 379 outbreak-associated cases to CDPH. The most 
      outbreaks (47.8%) and outbreak-associated cases (54.8%) occurred in the health 
      care and social assistance sector, where outbreak incidence levels were highest 
      in skilled nursing facilities and residential care facilities (1306 and 544 
      outbreaks per 1000 establishments, respectively). High proportions of outbreaks 
      also occurred in the retail trade (8.6%) and manufacturing (7.9%) sectors. 
      Demographics of outbreak-associated cases varied across industries. Conclusions. 
      Certain California industries, particularly in the health care, manufacturing, 
      and retail sectors, have experienced a high burden of COVID-19 outbreaks during 
      the pandemic. Public Health Implications. Tracking COVID-19 outbreaks by industry 
      may help target prevention efforts, including workforce vaccination. (Am J Public
