Breakfast, emails in bed?

Sixty-five percent of remote workers have worked from their beds during the pandemic and 35% admit they have worked from a closet.

That’s according to a study of 1,520 workers by home improvement portal Craftjack, which connects homeowners with contractors.

Overall, 71% of the people surveyed said they are “improvising” with respect to their workspace with only 32% working from a “proper office.” While 31% say their bedroom is their office, 45% say it’s the couch in the living room and 51% say they’ve worked from the kitchen counter.

By industry, the study found that those working in real estate appear to conduct business in bed the most, at 80%. The least? Those working in insurance, with 42% reportedly taking up the habit.

For those who conduct video conferences, 64% say they have made an effort to curate their background in some way, but only 21% of those working in insurance have made the effort.
