Quarantine will normalize WFH and recession will denormalize full-time jobs

I went to a taqueria today. It was open. No one there was working from home. The guys cooking work there 5 days a week.

WFH is such a small percentage of the economy.

We went to see our pediatrician yesterday - the full-time staff was there.

Freelance has gone from 2% in the mid 90s to 3% today.

Big perhaps in absolute numbers of people, small in terms of percentages of the economy.

SF is mostly a bubble in terms of this.

Well yea, none of those anecdotes you referenced are office jobs.
