Were Teleworkable Jobs Pandemic-Proof?

Thao Tran and Didem Tuzemen

Economic Bulletin, 2020, 3

Abstract: While the majority of pandemic-related job losses have been in occupations where working from home was not possible, work-from-home or “teleworkable” jobs were not pandemic-proof. In addition, the number of teleworkable jobs lost and recovered differed by workers’ sex and education status. Both college-educated and non-college-educated women experienced larger employment losses and slower recoveries in teleworkable jobs than their male counterparts.
