The Covid-19 pandemic required more Americans to work from home, but it also meant more workers were multitasking, doing their jobs while taking care of their families.
Data from the American Time Use Survey, released Thursday from the Labor Department, reveal that the percentage of employed people working from home nearly doubled in 2020, to 42%, from 22% in 2019.

The pandemic didn’t just disrupt work life. It also temporarily halted the time-use survey. Data collection was suspended from mid March to early May. For that reason, the data here are for May 10 through Dec. 31 of each year.
But the survey reveals the extent to which working parents, particularly women, juggled their jobs and child care simultaneously. At any one 15-minute interval in the afternoon, roughly 12% of employed women with children reported working while also taking care of their children. (Time spent both working and doing child care is for respondents reporting all of a period working was caring for a child 13 years old or younger.)
About 6% worked while
watching kids in the morning,
compared with less than 1% in 2019.
They were 10 times more
likely to work in the evening
while watching kids.
Afternoons saw a
nearly fourfold increase in
women working while watching children.
They were less likely
to juggle work and
childcare in the evenings.

Remarkably, working hours overall changed little during the pandemic, with workers reporting similar hours to 2019.
