Did it, though? GDP has just reached pre-pandemic levels.

The economy is not 100% office work.

Worker productivity is not measured in GDP. It is a component of it, but asset and resource prices also factor into the equation. Nobody is going to suggest taxi drivers can go fully remote and work from home, yet that still feeds into GDP.

GDP is at pre pandemic levels now with sizable sections of the economy (travel, restaurants etc) still operating well below capacity.
