1 Among those who are currently working from home all or most of the time, about three-quarters or more say it has been easy to have the technology and equipment they need to do their job and to have an adequate workspace.

While not seamless, the transition to telework has been relatively easy for many employed adults. And more than half say, given a choice, they would want to keep working from home even after the pandemic, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.

Now, 71% of those workers are doing their job from home all or most of the time. Only one-in-five say they worked from home all or most of the time. Most workers who say their job responsibilities can mainly be done from home say that, before the pandemic, they rarely or never teleworked. The abrupt closure of many offices and workplaces this past spring ushered in a new era of remote work for millions of employed Americans and may portend a significant shift in the way a large segment of the workforce operates in the future. “Lower income” falls below that range “upper income” falls above it. “Middle income” is defined here as two-thirds to double the median annual family income for panelists on the American Trends Panel. “Some college” includes those with an associate degree and those who attended college but did not obtain a degree. References to college graduates or people with a college degree comprise those with a bachelor’s degree or more.

References to White, Black and Asian adults include only those who are not Hispanic and identify as only one race. References to workers or employed adults include those who are employed part time or full time and who have only one job or have more than one job but consider one of them to be their primary job.
