Research: The Growing Inequality of Who Gets to Work from Home::There is a large and growing divide in terms of who gets to work from home. Research on job postings found that remote work is far more common for higher paid roles, for roles that require more experience, for full-time work, and for roles that require more education. Managers should be aware of this divide, as it has the potential to create toxic dynamics within teams and to sap morale.

Also, knowledge workers have a higher average salary than laborers. No guesses for which one is better suited to working from home.

Yep.

Can't exactly dig a ditch from home.

And I say this as someone who's: dug ditches (septic actually, even worse), pumped gas, serviced cars, built homes, plumbed homes, installed AC, delivered home construction materials, remodeled houses, been a line cook, waiter, deployed hardware, setup access control, alarm monitoring, surveillance systems, restaurant manager, and several other jobs.

None which could be done from home, except part of the security stuff.

So us "gray collars" still have plenty of hands-on work. Always will.

Just another bit of manufactured outrage.
