The economist John Maynard Keynes predicted in 1930 that the amount we work would gradually shrink to as little as 15 hours a week as technology made us more productive. Not only did this not happen, but we also began to spend extra time away from home due to commuting and suburban living patterns, which we often forget are recent historical inventions.
However, 2020 has changed all that. In my new history of remote work during COVID-19, I marvel at how much it has shaken up our lives and how much we took for granted. My research also points to a number of trends that will help shape working life in 2021.

COLONIE Albany International Airport on Friday began offering the first of what will be regular COVID-19 tests based on saliva samples that were developed by the State University of New York’s Upstate Medical University.
Available free of charge for the approximately 500 people who work at the airport and for $30 or $60 for travelers, depending on whether they turn in the swab or mail it in from their homes, it marks one of the first such test programs nationwide at airports.
“This is all voluntary,” said Airport CEO Philip Calderone, who went to the testing station set up in the facility’s lower level for what officials said was a “soft opening” of the new program.
