Cell Phone Data Suggest Persistent Differences in Work from Home by Income, Race, and Education during the Pandemic
Social-distancing policies to combat the spread of COVID-19 led to an initial spike in work from home.

In addition, we find that differences across income, race, and education in work from home that emerged with the pandemic persist a year later.
