Abstract
Employers in the US are grappling with whether and how to bring employees back to the office or other place of work. Using survey-based evidence, Jose Maria Barrero (Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México), Nick Bloom (Stanford/LSE) and Steven Davis (University of Chicago) find that four in ten Americans who currently work from home at least one day a week would seek another job if employers require a full return to business premises, and most workers would look favourably on a new job that offers the same pay with the option to work from home two or three days a week. High rates of quits and job openings in recent months appear to partly reflect a re-sorting of workers based on the scope for remote working.
