Issue #70  (17 Minutes a Day on Email) 06/15/20

Jonathan I. Dingel and Brent Neiman of the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business, have produced an interesting white paper called How Many Jobs Can be Done at Home? (PDF). 

  According to their summary of the findings:

"We find that 37 percent of jobs in the United States can be performed entirely at home, with significant variation across cities and industries. Applying our occupational classifications to 85 other countries reveals that lower-income economies have a lower share of jobs that can be done at home."

Check out the full paper for details on the research.
