The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting health and the global economy in unique ways. From the approach of economic resilience, this study aimed to analyze the impacts of the new coronavirus crisis on the employability of Brazilian mesoregions from 2019 to 2020. More specifically, we sought to: compare the Brazilian mesoregions most and least affected by the pandemic, seeking explanations based on their economic structures, and observe the public policies of confrontation at the level of states. For this, econometric indices of economic resistance, structural change, specialization, and economic diversification and the OxCGRT, developed by the University of Oxford, were used. In general, it was identified that less resilient mesoregions tend to have a very specialized and less diversified economic structure, with a greater participation of public administration activities and industrial services of public utility. On the other hand, the more resilient mesoregions tend to have a greater share of employment in the manufacturing industry and the services sector and to have moderate diversification. In terms of public policies to combat the pandemic, Brazilian states with better economic resilience had lower lethality rates.
