With millions of Americans working from home during the COVID-19 crisis, there are plenty of tech and knowledge-industry workers looking around their tiny apartments in hot hub cities and saying, could I do bigger and better than this?
According to Global Workplace Analytics, a consultancy that helps firms design work-from-home strategies, 56 percent of the US workforce could work from home, and the number of regular work-from-home folks is likely to jump from 3.6 percent to 25-30 percent of the workforce by 2021. But according to a survey from WhistleOut, over a third of people say that lack of high-speed internet has prevented them from doing their work.
