Many workers are able to continue working without leaving home and risking exposure. Looking at which workers have this option reveals other insights. In this episode, Brent Neiman<https://uchicago.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=cb1276cdf90fa4a6b74dfefa3&id=9a20f607de&e=02cf78e1cc> and Simon Mongey<https://uchicago.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=cb1276cdf90fa4a6b74dfefa3&id=577765d2f3&e=02cf78e1cc> discuss their research quantifying who can work from home and who bears the costs of social distancing policies.
