Percent of full paid days worked from home for US workers. Average obtained from a survey of US workers who earned $10,000 or more in a prior year, reweighted by age, sex, education, and earnings to match the share of individuals in the Current Population Survey (CPS). Estimate for 2019 is based on data from the American Time Use Survey. The June 2020 data point averages across May and July because we did not run a survey in June. The September 2023 data point is an average of August and October due to data quality issues in September. Copyright 2025 by Jose Maria Barrero, Nicholas Bloom, and Steven J. Davis.
