Economists: Workers Work More When They Work Remotely

What is happening? Economists with the University of Oregon say data shows that remote workers worked more weekend and after hours time than pre-pandemic.

Why is this important? The shift may signal slightly longer work weeks, but in reality it likely reflects using daylight hours for outdoor activities or errands, and shifting work to the evening.

How will this be important? There is a new normal and this is part of it. 5 days a week in an office is antiquated.
