4.7-million more Canadians now working from home: Stats Canada
OTTAWA, ONT – A new report from Statistics Canada shows a massive surge in Canadians who have shifted their place of work to their own home.
During the period of March 22-28, they claim that 4.7-million people who do not usually work from home did so.
When you factor in those who typically work on their home office, that number rises to 6.8-million, or approximately 40 per cent of the overall labour force.
Of those who only recently started working from home, Stats Canada says they are far more likely to have a higher level of education.
