Nicholas Bloom, Gordon B. Dahl and Dan-Olof Rooth study whether the rise in remote work explains the recent jump in employment among people with disabilities (American Economic Review: Insights, June 2026).

Why I recommend it: Peer reviewed. Bloom has long argued for remote and hybrid work, so it's worth knowing where the authors stand.
