The latest trends in Work-from-Home (WFH) practices in the U.S. are out. This information is collected through the U.S. Survey of Working Arrangements and Attitudes (SWAA). It gathers monthly data from 2,500 to 10,000 U.S. residents -- aged between 20 and 64 years of age -- about the number of full-pay working days worked from home. Data is organized by industry and worker characteristics too. Here with more on this is our Chief Equity Strategist and Economist, John Blank.
1. What are the broad trends in this new data, starting with the work from home rate?
2. How does this compare with working on site?
3. Does this mean the demand for office space will or will not suffer?
4. You wrote recently that the U.S. labor market is settling into a new equilibrium. What does that mean, especially since more employers now are less willing to offer the work from home option?
5. Which sectors are most impacted by these trends?
6. How does the current lay off rate factor into this story?
7. What does this mean for the job market especially as, according to published reports, those laid off now are finding it harder to quickly secure new roles?
8. What might all of this mean for the overall U.S. economy going forward?
9. Most recently you had your eye on 3 large market cap stocks, in clear up-trends. They include Las Vegas Sands LVS, Take Two Interactive TTWO and Gold Fields Limited GFI.
