(NEWSnet/AP) — Workers in the fields of computer science, real estate, finance and insurance experienced the greatest bumps in working from home during the first years of the pandemic.

But it barely budged in occupations like stockers, truck operators and order-fillers, according to U.S. Census Bureau figures released Tuesday.

The share of employees working on-site in computer and mathematical jobs went from 60% in 2019 to 30% in 2021, and 67% to 43% for workers in insurance, finance and real estate jobs, according to figures from the Survey of Income and Program Participation.

It moved only 1 percentage point for workers in what are called “material moving occupations," such as laborers, truck drivers and machine operators.

Looking at all U.S. jobs, the share of employees working on-site dropped from 84% to 74%, the survey said.

The share of workers in hybrid jobs, that is those spending some days on-site and other days at home, increased from 4% in 2020 to 6% in 2021. Of those employees, the most common days to work from home were Monday and Friday, according to the survey.

SIPP conducts interviews with anywhere from 14,000 to 52,000 households over several years.
