Please don't propagate irrelevancies: that link is about a single tech company is Austin TX and has nothing to do with claim about aggregate labor statistics for the country.
The latest BLS data is here:
https://www.bls.gov/cps/telework.htm#data https://www.bls.gov/cps/telework.htm#data
From the look of it WFH is somewhere between 10-20% depending on how you count full vs hybrid WFH.

There are still physical jobs that require people to go to places to do things. All these discussions related to WFH pertain to the tech sector and office jobs that can be done remotely for the time being.
- blululu 2y agoThe parent made a claim about the aggregate rate and its trend. You asserted that this claim is false and then provided a citation that is irrelevant and contains nothing to debunk the original claim (which appears to be true based on BLS data). You're now trying to change the terms of your original disagreement to be about the tech sector alone. This is fine, I guess, but I would really appreciated it if this conversation would provide actual data instead of an anecdote from a single firm that may or may not be representative of the broader trend.
- zrn900 2y ago> You're now trying to change the terms of your original disagreement to be about the tech sector alone I didn't say only tech. I said tech and office work that can be done remotely. And which of the discussions at hackernews is not related to tech? 0.1%? The proposition doesn't make sense.
