Full report from Stat Can: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/11-631-x/11-631-x2024001-eng.htm
The summary misses that the baseline seems to be around 7.5% pre-pandemic. So we have almost 3x the number of people working from home now versus before.
I don't understand how that's possible if only 40% of jobs could feasibly be done from home (2019 statistic). That means about half of all jobs that can be done remotely, are? That seems improbable. Thanks for that link BTW.
YW! BTW, the report does a good job showing how actual and potential work-from-home rates vary a lot by industry, education, earnings, and urban/rural
Yeah but I really wouldn't have thought the numbers would be so high. No wonder commercial office space is in such bad shape.
