You may have been hearing this debate about where you should be working.

It's not in your best interest to work at home.

If you're just sitting in your pajamas and your bedroom, is that the work life you want to live?

I love the freedom of not having a commute in the mornings,

of being able to set my own hours. It does not work for younger people. It doesn't work for those who want to hustle. Don't you want to feel part of something? I love that I can work

from anywhere. I can go work in Buddy Florence if I want to. You too may have strong feelings about the work-from-home debate.

This man certainly does.

Yes, I mean, work from home is a real wild west.

A real wild west, meaning there may be rules and protocols,

but they're not widely understood or followed,

and they seem to change all the time.

This has led to a lot of shouting and speculation.

I get frustrated when you read in the media, pro and against work from home,

and they're comparing extreme positions.

That is Nicholas Bloom, an economist at Stanford.

He gave us some numbers on where Americans are doing

their jobs these days. About 55% are working fully in person. Think about jobs in manufacturing,

retail, transportation, service and hospitality, many medical workers and some office workers.

About 15% of U.S. workers are fully remote. In a normal week, they never go to a

workplace. And about 30% of us are doing what has come to be called hybrid work. We're in

person some days and working at home or remotely the others. And if you want to understand how

things have changed since the pandemic, hybrid work is where you should be looking.
