Growing inequality? Sounds like it never really changed. Figure 2 (the figures are not numbered, but they reference them with numbers, I can also not c&p the title, since that is part of the picture) anyway so figure 2 shows that more people with lower education were able to WFH, so I would argue that it is actually less unequal today, the headline is in direct contradiction to this. As someone who has worked at both sides of this, I would have liked more people to not bother me by doing WFH. Other than "you simply can't do it yourself", I only see upside for those who have to go to work. Starts and ends with less traffic and has things like fewer stupid comments from bosses in the middle. I remember that night shifts were always the best in that regard, you could simply do your job.
