Ideally, with the rise of work from home, you should not have to be physically next to your job for a lots of office work.
The other aspect if that if people can essentially travel less because of the transportation cost, there should be more hyper local services. So it should create more local jobs.
That being said, assuming it will ever happen, it won't probably be a smooth transition, and there will be winners and losers.
- rtkwe 7y agoTrue, but work from home is only applicable to a portion of the population and job market and as a rough estimate judging by industry [0] ~50-60% of jobs require you to be in person just by their nature, the only sectors that could approach 100% work from home are Information, Financial activities, and Professional and business services. Some like local, state, and federal government could partially go work from home but there are a lot of security concerns with moving some portions of that work out of a controlled offices into people's homes around PII and other secret information.
