摘要

Remote work gradually increased in the United States during the four decades prior to the pandemic, then surged in 2020. Using the American Community Survey, we show that pre-pandemic, remote full-time white-collar workers earned a wage premium while blue-collar workers paid a wage penalty compared with on-site workers. In 2020–2021, remote workers in most occupations earned a wage premium. Although average wages grew only slightly faster from 2019 to 2021 for remote workers than for on-site workers within occupations, increases in remote work intensity within occupations were positively associated with occupation-level wage growth. Pre-pandemic, remote employees worked substantially longer hours per week than on-site workers, but by 2021 their hours were similar.
