本文考察了工人在家工作的能力（由职业信息网络测量的工作特征）与在家工作的实际发生率（由美国时间使用调查和1979年全国青年纵向调查测量）之间的关系。对于远程办公可行的职业，本文还估计了在2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行之前实际远程办公相当长时间的工人比例。文章最后审查了当前人口调查最近（2020年4月）的就业估计，旨在衡量疫情对远程办公可行和不可行的职业之间的初步就业影响有何不同。
This article examines the relationship between workers' ability to work at home, as captured in job characteristics measured by the Occupational Information Network, and the actual incidence of working at home, as measured by the American Time Use Survey and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979. For occupations in which telework is feasible, the article also estimates the proportion of workers who actually teleworked for a substantial amount of time prior to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The article concludes by examining recent (April 2020) employment estimates from the Current Population Survey, aiming to gauge how the initial employment effects of the pandemic differed between occupations in which telework is feasible and occupations in which it is not.
