> At the very least work email can be done on a phone.
The question was whether respondents needed to use the internet at home, not whether they need a physical wire going to their home. Needing LTE/3G at home to do work email = needing a home internet connection.
> Truck drivers, factory workers, cashiers, ...
For all of these, a lot of shift scheduling is done online these days.
Truck Drivers: Many are independent contractors. So, "one-man business owner and also sole employee" might be a better model and makes it abundantly clear that an internet connection is required.
Cashiers: there are vanishingly few people who are full-time cashiers and don't have a second or third job. Possible their other job requires a home internet connection.
Factory work: Most folks I know who work in factories tend to hop from job to job every year or two. In other words, they're constantly in job search mode. Job searches happen online.
Healthcare: Most healthcare professions require CEUs, which can often be done at least partially online and always require a home internet connection if taken seriously.
