The study looked at how hot weather impacts the money earned in different parts of the US economy. They found that when temperatures go above a certain level, earnings can drop. This affects sectors like agriculture, manufacturing, construction, retail, and finance severely. For each day hotter than 25°C, average earnings growth decreased by 0.02%. The researchers even projected that, due to climate change, the US manufacturing sector may see reduced earnings growth by 2020–2024, with an expected average decrease of around 0.3% annually from 2020 to 2049.
