Hand-picked articles, stories and ideas from the remote work community and beyond.
Why Working from Home Will Stick
Jose Maria Barrero, Nicholas Bloom, Steven J. Davis | NBER
COVID-19 drove a mass social experiment in working from home (WFH). We survey more than 30,000 Americans over multiple waves to investigate whether WFH will stick, and why. Our data say that 20 percent of full workdays will be supplied from home after the pandemic ends, compared with just 5 percent before.

How I Booked My Absolutely Cheapest One-Month Trip Ever
Benoit Bernard
Some blogs mentioned that airfare was cheaper on some weekdays (or during specific months), while others stated that prices were constantly fluctuating and that getting a good deal was just a matter of luck. I was more confused than ever, to say the least.
So this is when an interesting idea struck me - assuming that a price pattern did exist, could I discover it myself?
