Occupations that score low in terms of the work-from-home measure feature workers that by all measures are economically more vulnerable.
Workers in these occupations are less likely to be white (in the US) or to have a college degree, which relates to the fact that they are more likely to be below median income.
They are more likely to work in smaller firms, which are on average less financially robust and so less likely to suffer from the financial effects of the crisis.
The age of workers across high- and low- work-from-home occupations does not systematically differ.
Individuals in occupations that score highly in terms of work-from-home are more likely to be women, but this is also true for occupations that have high physical-proximity.
