Research on Impacts of Working From Home During COVID-19
Sep 4, 2024
A recent study investigates the impacts of working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential continuation post-pandemic. The research involved two representative online surveys conducted in New Jersey.
The findings indicate that individuals with higher educational attainment, higher incomes, and prior experience working from home are more likely to continue this practice in the future. In contrast, those skeptical about the pandemic were less inclined to increase their remote work during the pandemic or express a desire to do so moving forward.
Nearly half of the respondents expressed a preference for increased remote work after the pandemic. These trends present significant considerations for policymakers and planners regarding transportation systems and economic activity.
