Hello and welcome to Business Daily from the BBC with me, Manuela Saragossa.

In this edition, winners and losers of the Homeworking Revolution.

I absolutely believe that this is a tipping point. And in the past, we built our life around our job.

And in the future, remote work allows us to build our jobs around our lives.

But who loses out?

It's a horrible issue that working from home, in some senses, it's been awful in terms of the class divide.

So it's generated a real worry for me in terms of rising inequality, you know, both now but also, you know, post-pandemic.

That's all here in Business Daily from the BBC.

I definitely logged my time living and working in large cities.

And I've always worked in offices, whether it was in New York or elsewhere.

That's Heather May in the US there.

She recently swapped her workplace in a big city for a more rural location without changing jobs.

She could do that because everyone these days is working from home and, well, home can be anywhere.

The idea of working remotely was really exciting to me because of the amount of time you spend commuting and just the

stress. And I just loved the idea of working more autonomously and was really keen to get out

of the city and find a quieter lifestyle. Heather's one of many, many office workers who's welcomed

the global shift to home working.

In the US, 97% of office workers have been working from home during the pandemic.

82% say they want to continue to do so at least once a week in future.

That's according to a survey of nearly 3,000 respondents done by global workplace analytics in the US.

The winners from all of this may well be some smaller cities in America.

They're luring office workers like Heather May away from the big smoke.
