Research: The Growing Inequality of Who Gets to Work from Home::There is a large and growing divide in terms of who gets to work from home. Research on job postings found that remote work is far more common for higher paid roles, for roles that require more experience, for full-time work, and for roles that require more education. Managers should be aware of this divide, as it has the potential to create toxic dynamics within teams and to sap morale.

Are we going to clutch our pearls over work-from-home inequality while we ignore the even greater inequality of pay differences?

Jobs are different. Pay is different. Those who can work from home should have an option to; this will help them, and the environment, and those who do have to travel to work. If I have a job that requires me to travel, such as physical maintenance, working in retail, etc, I welcome a smooth commute because half the people are working from home.
