Reworking Remote

But the truth is more complicated: Remote work is not a solution for everyone, for a variety of reasons.
Remote work certainly was transformative for some disabled workers, such as Fiona Kennedy, an operations manager for a construction consulting firm, who says “remote work saved my life.” However, the truth is relatively few disabled people benefited from remote work.
Prior to the pandemic, disabled workers who needed hybrid or remote work struggled to access that accommodation.
In workplaces across the country, workers argued passionately for remote and hybrid options, insisting that the flexible hours of remote work were beneficial for the quality of their work, overall productivity, and happiness.
When the distribution across different kinds of jobs is weighted, does remote work really explain the rise in disability employment?
