Most US white-collar workers stayed put in cities rather than take to resorts, minicensus shows
The mass shift to remote work during the pandemic allowed people with professional and management jobs to do them effectively from mountaintop aeries, beachfront cottages and exotic foreign locales. Mainly, though, it seems to have enabled residents of big-city neighbourhoods and close-in suburbs to avoid going to offices that in some cases were within walking distance of their homes.
A big advantage of PUMAs is that they divide diverse big cities into more coherent parts while adding together suburbs that alone do not have enough people for the Census Bureau to release their data. Sorting by PUMAs makes clear that working from home was most prevalent quite close to office centres last year.
There surely are parts of scenic, exurban Sonoma and national-park-neighbouring Bozeman and Jackson where most people work from home, but to get near the 100,000-population PUMA threshold, those have to be tallied alongside other neighbourhoods and rural areas where most residents have hands-on jobs. In large urban agglomerations so many people are working from home that they can dominate entire cities of more than 65,000 people or PUMAs of more than 100,000.
