Workers have more time, thanks to less traveling to work -- but how that time is spent is a big question. Researchers behind the the National Bureau of Economic Research working paper, Time Savings When Working from Home, estimate that people who work from home use 40% of their commute-time savings on working on primary and secondary jobs. A further 34% goes to leisure, and 11% goes to caregiving. "These results suggest that much of the time savings flow back to employers, and that children and other caregiving recipients also benefit," the researchers write.
