Is work-from-home really the wave of the future? A look at the pros, cons
by Jason Gold and Alec Stapp
WASHINGTON, D.C. Zillow CEO Rich Barton recently tweeted that he was giving all employees the option to work from home for the rest of
2020. My personal opinions about WFH (work from home) have been turned upside down over the past 2 months. I expect this will have a lasting influence on the future of work - and home.
Barton's epiphany about working from home - echoed by other U.S. business leaders - may mark a decisive shift toward pervasive telework in the post-pandemic economy. Before COVID-19 appeared, just five percent of the U.S. workforce worked remotely full-time. Now, thanks to America's extensive digital infrastructure, two-thirds of employees are working from home.
