I’m very curious about the sampling methodology here. This is anecdotal, but I am a millennial and precisely zero of my friends prefer working from home. So there must be bias in one of those two samples.
- tantalor 6y agoI asked the author: The survey was conducted using mechanical turk for American workers with full-time jobs. We didn't control for age, as you can see in the age breakdown of "are you more productive working from home," so had some age groups more represented than others. The margin of error is 4%. So that raises some red flags, because turkers are WAY more likely to be favorable towards WFH conditions. They already do that!
- formercoder 6y agoYeah. Massive, massive sampling bias.
