FILE - Lindsay Garfield, finance director at SquareFoot which helps companies find office space, works from home in New York on March 11, 2020. According to survey data from the U.S. Census Bureau, people working from home became younger, more diverse, better educated and more likely to move during the worst part of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to survey data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
In many respects, the demographic makeup of people working from home from 2019 to 2021 became more like workers who were commuting, while the share of the U.S. labor force working from home went from 5.7% in 2019 to 17.9% in 2021, as restrictions were implemented to help slow the spread of the virus, according to a report released last week based on American Community Survey data.
“The increase in homebased workers corresponded with a decline in drivers, carpoolers, transit riders, and most other types of commuters,” the report said. The share of people working from home between ages 25 and 34 jumped from 16% to 23% from 2019 to 2021. The share of home-based workers who are Black went from 7.8% to 9.5%, and it went from 5.7% to 9.6% for Asian workers. It remained flat for Hispanic workers, the report said.The share of home-based workers with a college degree also jumped from just over half to more than two-thirds, and people working from home were more likely to have moved in the past year than commuters.
I've worked at home for so long now that I've had to go back to high school, and the liquor store stopped carding me and simply refuses to sell me anything because they're certain the ID is fake.
They became younger, huh? I should work from home more often.
I bet they all also had significant weight gains !
The government said the lockdown were good after all? Great job AP…
I want to how working from home makes me younger. I am retired and do all kinds of work at home. Will that make me younger?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You mean angrier and more entitled?
Hmmm. I worked from home but still got older.

Who would have thought laziness was a fountain of youth.
Who the Frick are the Associated Press , associated with?
Absolutely, I became younger , graduated from grad school , have a better tan and a big plus I also became more handsome while working from home during Covid ! I didn't think I could be the only one !!
Except children
That settles it, I’m going to start working from home so I too can “become younger, more diverse, and better educated.”
😂😂 losers
Propaganda to further disincentivise young people in the marketplace. Putting them at a disadvantage among their peers from abroad
Higher rates of obesity, neurosis, suicide, mental illness…
My finding is many who work from home are not working so much. They don't answer phonesor return emails in real time and if they do I hear dogs barking and baby's crying and in a couple cases bowl smoking and drinks being made in the blender. It's fucking ridiculous.
And the US gdp and dollar are continuing to weaken ….
Odd photo.
How does one become younger?
So if I work from home I'll get younger? Who would have thought.
I wish I'd become younger during the pandemic...
It’s true, before the pandemic my 60 year old white dad was working from home and then during the pandemic he became a 35 year old Hispanic dad
What ?AP is tweeting again ?
so if I was a 35 year old White guy and I worked from home I would become a 25 year old Black woman.
Doesn't this say more about the job independence that people having the option to work from home had over 'show up' workers? The control aspects were there before COVID. The opportunity enhanced them.
No, the people didn’t change. The statistics changed.
Guess ya gotta listen to da boss man 🤷🏿♂️
Terrible wording
How did people get younger?
Must be nice to have the privilege and resources to work from home while the rest of us are risking our health and safety every day to provide essential services.
And changed gender.
'younger, more diverse, better educated' 🤣
Amazing. They got younger and changed ethnicity.
How tf did they become YOUNGER?!
I was working at home BEFORE COVID-19. 😜
