As Covid-19 descended upon the country in 2020, millions of American office workers transitioned to working from home to reduce risk of infection and prevent spread of the virus. In the aftermath of this shift, a significant number of workers will remain at least partially remote. It is clear that this massive experiment we were forced to run will have long-term consequences, changing the shape of our personal and work lives, as well as the urban landscape around us. How will the rise of telecommuting affect workers' quality of life, the profitability of firms, and the economic geography of our cities and suburbs? Going Remote addresses the uncertainties and possibilities of this moment. In Going Remote, urban economist Matthew E. Kahn takes readers on a journey through the new remote work economy, revealing how people will configure their lives when they have more freedom to choose where they work and how they live. Melding ideas from labor economics, family economics, the theory of the firm, and urban economics, Kahn paints a realistic picture of what will happen to workers, firms, and urban areas, big and small. As Kahn shows, the rise of remote work presents especially valuable opportunities for flexibility and equity in the lives of women, minorities, and young people, and even for those whose jobs do not allow them to work from home. Uncovering the key implications for our quality of life, Going Remote demonstrates how the rise of remote work can significantly improve the standard of living for millions of people by expanding personal freedom, changing the arc of how we live, work, and play"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Telecommuting $z United States. 650 0 $a Quality of work life $z United States. 650 0 $a Work-life balance $z United States. 650 6 $a QualiteÌ de la vie au travail $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 6 $a Conciliation travail-vie personnelle $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 7 $a Quality of work life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01085055 650 7 $a Telecommuting. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01146098 650 7 $a Work-life balance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01749709 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Kahn, Matthew E., 1966- $t Going remote $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2022] $z 9780520384323 $w (DLC) 2021039068 941 $a 2 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20230513010129.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20220601010859.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=27B3B142E17011EC82262A731FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
