Granted this is an American study, but it seems likely that it can be extrapolated usefully for shedworkers in the UK too. In brief, the American Time Use Survey, the annual report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, show that in 2023, 35 percent of employed people did some or all of their work at home on days they worked, and 73 percent of employed people did some or all of their work at their workplace.
But here's the really key bit, the share of employed people who spent time working at home on days worked was about the same in 2023 (35 percent) as in 2022 (34 percent). So people were still more likely to work at home in 2023 than in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic (35 percent, compared with 24 percent).
Other findings showed that workers with higher levels of education were more likely to work at home than were those who had less education, and that on days they worked in 2023, employed women and men were about equally likely to do some or all of their work at home, 36 percent and 34 percent, respectively.
